[ Turning to face Nynaeve rewards him with the bizarre sight of rolled up cloth. And what comes out of him isn't joy nor pride, but a miserable little: ] Aw, man, I shouldn't have tossed that towel...
[ Nevertheless, once he's retrieved the crumpled up thing from the floor, Marty takes the rolled cloth carefully in his towelled hands. What mess of bloodsludge hasn't been absorbed by the material rolls off the cloth in rivulets, and he's doing his best to resist the urge to sniff it. ]
