* ''Literature/RangersApprentice'': In ''The Siege of Macindaw'', Will underestimates the Scotti general, [=MacCadish=], and only Horace's last-minute arrival saves him. When Horace sees the blood down Will's jerkin, he begins probing his torso for the wound. Tense, Will snaps at him that it's the general's blood, not his.
* {{Inverted|Trope}} in ''Literature/ShadesOfMagic'' when Kell reassures his family's royal guards that it's ''his'' blood on his clothing rather than his brother's. This calms the guards down, as Kell's routine use of BloodMagic is nothing new to them. (Ironically, Kell is lying to conceal the fact his brother provoked yet another drunken brawl.)

A character is bloody, and the people nearby start to panic, but then the character says something to the effect of, "Don't worry, it's not MY blood." Easy way for writers to create a WhamLine.

A character is bloody, and the people nearby start to panic, but then the character says something to the effect of, "Don't worry, it's not MY blood." Whether or not this is actually comforting is dependent on a great many factors. Easy way for writers to create a WhamLine.

** After escaping an assassination attempt and covered in blood, Makima tells her subordinates "It's not my blood. I didn't get hit." [[SubvertedTrope She's lying]]; while ''most'' of the blood isn't hers, the audience saw she somehow got ''shot in the head'' and came back to life. [[spoiler:Given the later revelation that attacks to Makima [[LiquidAssets are transferred to someone else]], it may technically be a DoubleSubversion.]]
