    It probably means he’s on blood thinners. You’ll bleed like you cut an artery even with a tiny nick.

    So he probably had a tiny cut that just bleed a lot because of blood thinners.

      My thoughts exactly. I was on them for a time and I’d bleed FOREVER if I cut myself shaving. That’s when I learned about styptic pencils and alum blocks.

      the ear is also mostly cartilage, so i wouldnt be surprised if there was a lot of blood flowing through them constantly, especially at the very top of the ear where he was grazed. Very well could still be on blood thinners, but i think i would just expect the ear to bleed pretty aggressively in some cases.
