'It could be worse' is a sentiment they can both offer - whether it's applied to his wound, or her state of mind upon seeing it. Once the shard is removed, it probably won't look as terrible as it does currently, but her emotional state ... that isn't about to change anytime soon, not until the job is done and they're heading away from the junkyard that is Jakku.
She feels ashamed of herself, of her reaction, and her cheeks flame into life ... which probably looks a lot better than the way that blood had disappeared the moment she saw his blood.
"Of course", she murmurs, quickly setting off to sweep the shards up, throw them away, clean the spilled liquor until it looks as though nothing's ever transpired here in the first place. And afterwards, she'll disappear back to the bunk, curling up in as tight a ball as she can manage, scared, remembering other instances of moments like this, anxious at the thought of what might happen if she ever lost control of her emotions again.
