I'm rewriting a novel, and am having trouble working with one scene.
So we have the "villain" with a short, thin dagger smeared with poison that she always carries with her. When she betrays our heroes, she tries to stab the MC.
Another protagonist, one of the MC's two sidekicks, quickly grabs the blade by between his middle and index finger.
Villain pushes the blade down, getting about half an inch through his hand. He retracts quickly.
So what's it going to look like? I know it'll be bloody, but how much, from where, and what will happen to the bone, etc? I'd really appreciate it if the medical/combat experts helped me here.
Thanks!
