[ And this time, the smile he gives Dion is incredibly warm. There is a lot from his childhood that he would still consider precious to this day, if he had it. The bracelets that he and Clive had been given as a gift from their late father are just one of those things, but he cannot bear to part with it all the same.
But Dion is already undoing his bandages, so Joshua will pay attention. It truly didn't take much for him to give in. The wounds are... certainly not surprising, that's for certain. Slowly healing burns, fresher bruises. And that hint of lithification... So his gut feeling had been right.
Well. Nothing to be done for that, at least not right now. But he makes a mental note to keep an eye on Dion. Any unnecessary uses of Bahamut's power... ]
Thank you. Sit still for me, please?
[ He turns, opening a small leather pack on his hip. He pulls out a small metal tin, a roll of bandages, and a square of gauze. The tin opens to reveal a strong-smelling salve, scented like a combination of healing herbs that, despite not being anything either of them are used to, still reek of "medicinal". No matter the world, this never changes.
He removes his glove, swipes his fingertips into the salve, then applies it first to the older burns, then to the newer bruises. Each wound is covered in a square of gauze, the salve helping to keep it in place, and then he winds the bandage around his arm until it is covered again. The beginnings of the lithification included.
And he says nothing about it, kindly, as he affixes the bandage in place. ]
There you are. It should probably be changed daily to monitor for infection, but I've found that salve does wonders for bruises. You'll just smell like an infirmary all day. But it isn't such a bad thing. I think it's a pleasant scent.
