Will keeps stroking her hair and meeting Kate's eyes as he talks to Malcolm,

"Tis somethin' 'urtin' folks in dreams. 'urt me night 'fore last, but she was 'urt e'en worse. I've staunched the bleedin' but she's lost so much blood. Canna lose 'er."

Anger and desperation collide in his voice, if he knew who to kill, he would but all he can do is watch his Kate suffer.
