Hadley-Bright possesses a soldier's fluency in cursing. It is a talent he is currently exhibiting, now that he is at last out of earshot of Sylvette or (he assumes) any other lady. His arm is badly burned; it is safe to assume that this is the source of this stream of foul language. Though he may not ask for it, Hadley-Bright would appreciate a bit of help.
