would elfie have scars under the fur, cracks, anything? <3

he sensed elfie's hesitation; pleased that the boy overcame it to follow an order, mahler sniffed gently round the boy's ears, seeking the bittersweet scent of blood that often drifted from such canals in the event of severe injury to the skull.
