Bearclaw Valley keep moving on

Not to be put-off by Revui's answer, the boy seemed intent on checking the gargoyle for damage. Having him drift so close was unsettling and without meaning to, Revui lifted his lip and flashed his teeth, while the fur on the nape of his neck raised like a set of jagged fins. The display came and went in the span of a breath; he heard the question, and once he figured out that Evien was versed in herbs and medicines he gave a lazy shrug and let his posture slacken.

He turned his attention away, observing their surroundings while Evien did - well, whatever he was trying to do. The painful tissue along Revui's lower back was the throbbing aftermath of his fight with his brother. It had been previously mended by a woman in the mountains (a slathering of honey with herbs affixed across) which helped stave off infection and ease his pain at the time, but by now had crusted over or flaked away in places. The skin was puckered and red, and it did not help that Revui had been nipping at it.
