Injury check

Gently check each other for any marks or sore spots. Maybe you see rope lines – apply arnica cream to bruises, or a gentle massage to an area that cramped. If any unintended harm happened (skin scrape, etc.), clean it and treat it. This is also a moment of pride for some (“look at those scratch marks you gave me!” might be admired) or might need reassurance (“that got a bit red, are you okay with that?”). Ensuring each other is physically okay reinforces trust for next time.
