"Just that "It must really hurt" is the kind of sympathy than can make you focus on, you know, how much it hurts; whereas being attacked with a handkerchief is almost invigorating. ;-p"
Hmm, this is what from my perspective feels the same - he's still saying that it hurts? Otherwise he wouldn't be attacking him with a handkerchief. :P
"Shen Wei gives comfort in a practical (and, when the hurt is self-inflicted, infuriated) way: food, liniment/first aid, physical support, peptalk, putting unconscious!ZYL to bed."
And that's kinda exactly what I originally meant when I said they both do that - it's in different ways, but SW still gives comfort when ZYL doesn't want comfort (or doesn't think he needs it, or doesn't think he deserves it, or thinks that nothing bad is happening at all, either way, he makes it clear that he's not asking for comfort at all).
