He also has harder stuff, but it's on lockdown and he feels like literally everything he's done and suggested so far tonight would be deeply creepy under other circumstances. He's not going to offer him an opioid without some kind of actual medical professional suggesting it. He also doesn't want him to be more uncomfortable than he needs to be. "Wait here a second, okay? Or change out of the suit. I'm going to get some clothes and a few cleans towels for you. You've got burns."
He's not shocked by that, given the scent of his clothes.
