She's not exactly touch-starved here, not with new friends like Karlach being only too happy to be hugged, but her body keeps behaving like she's never been touched by someone in her life. All this excitement.
It's making her lose blood, for crying out loud.
"Good - good. Ow - here, let's just stop here, I'm going to try for a potion again," she asks, reaching up to steady herself, her hand briefly touching his elbow. She doesn't notice the stain she leaves behind, just using the momentum to reach into her bag again and find the damn bottle. This time she manages to grab it, and down it, no commentary to be made about the taste.
It's one of the good ones, too, the Greater Healing Potion, so effects are instantaneous. She feels some of those lingering injuries close up, a blush returning to her cheeks.
