When Rory speaks next, he puts as much of his reassurance into the words as he can. He knows there is only so much he can do to make someone trust him, and Credence has no reason to really. But he won't feel right if he doesn't say this before moving on to inspect the bandaging and injury, "I swear to you. I won't tell anyone."
He lets those words hang in the air for a moment and then, carefully, he moves closer so he can inspect the bandages and injury itself. The inspection is done as quickly (but still thoroughly) as possible and when Rory is done he nods, satisfied, "It could be worse. I'd like to take your pulse one more time, but if you aren't experiencing any headaches or pains anywhere I think you'll recover just fine."
