She worked on gathering more, and when finished she approached him. Revui was already feeling a little bit better after chomping on some of the bark; he knew more too, and realized his father had been right to send him on this errand to be tutored by the girl. It filled him with purpose and now, the understanding that he could do something should he injure himself again.

Does anything else hurt? she asked of him. He shook his head, but caught himself in his own silence and tried to enunciate as he explained, This helped. Thank you Speedy. It was clipped speech, sounding monotonous or even grim, but he meant what he said - he just lacked the ability to properly inflect his tone. Perhaps he needed to make talking more of a habit so that he could find his voice.

A problem for another day. He sullenly gathered what remained of the bark and with a nod of his head began to depart from her company. He'd probably  stow this material for later, or at least for evidence that he had learned something of note from the healer.
