Jigano grinned at her assurances, finding himself no less proud of this than when he deciphered part of a new text or found a rare journal. "I have an excellent teacher," he riposted gallantly. Her qualifications had his grin turning crooked a moment later, however, and he gave a rueful shake of his head. "My, it does sound so much more charming when you put it that way." He winked to accompany his dry humor. "Hopefully we can work up to that slowly, though. Blood doesn't bother me, but trying to stitch up someone who was squirming would definitely give me pause."

"I know generally that broken bones should be straightened and then tied to a rigid support," he said slowly, "though I've never had to do it 'hands-on' before. Healing magic was common enough in my world that it was rare to fall back on the essentials... something I regret now." He chuckled. "But, as you said, I am learning more with every minute spent in your company, my wise friend. So... perhaps head injuries, next? I admit to being less familiar with those, even in theory. I know to check the eyes to see if they have trouble focusing, and slurred speech but... I'm afraid that is as far as my diagnosis goes, and aside from 'throw magic at it until it gets better' I know even less about treatment. What would you suggest?"
