It wasn't long before an attractive young blonde woman to make her way from the back to see him. He supposed that the apprentices or whomever they were weren't use to seeing a man turned to ribbons come strolling into their shop.
She spoke softly and her smile was her attempt at being encouraging despite the mess that had suddenly plopped into her lap. "Well, I walked all the way here just fine. I'm sure I can manage walking into the other room." His typically gruff voice came out in a raspy whisper as he forced himself back up to his feet. Another small intake of breath, another quick grimace of pain. His right arm made a 'lead the way' gesture, the metal winking in the candlelight.
"Hopefully you're as good a healer as rumors suggest, I didn't fancy my chances if I tried doing something myself." He said hobbling along to the room she would lead him too.
