"Never."  Thinking about the existence of his birthday makes his brain catch up with some context and some basic math - "Oh crap, were you out there in the snow‽"

"For a while."

"I'm so sorry - do you want a bath, or something?  After this?  - In, uh, uh uh - if you think you can handle that fine by yourself.  I just - you should have a nice, luxury experience, with - warm -"

"...maybe after my wing's better. I think it'd sting."

Permalink

"Yeah!  Yeah, of course.  I can find sewing supplies, if you want.  After food?  Do you want juice now."

"Yes please. - I'm not actually sure I'll be able to stitch it up, it's really sensitive and I'm not so certain it will speed up the healing that I want to have you make me do it."

Yes okay juice.

"...Or have me do it?"

Permalink

"Or that."

"There are painkillers but I don't know whether they'd work on fairies."

Permalink

"...huh. I don't know either."

"It's probably not safe to...

 

"I mean, I guess it's not like you could die of them.  Is it.  But they could make you really sick or something, for all I know."

"Maybe, if they're poisonous to fairies or something. In Fairyland I could just heal myself."

"A little but it might be smart to digest what I've got so far anyway."

Permalink

"Yeah.  Yeah, smart.  ...Do you want sewing stuff or not?  And painkillers."

Permalink

"...not today, I think. I've never actually tried stitching a wing, and it is healing on its own, just slowly."

Permalink

"...How long do you think it might take to heal?"

Permalink

"I couldn't see the damage before you let me move but I think it's more than half done? And the edge should be faster than the center."

Permalink

"But if it would take me a few days to get some materials that were safer for stitches in bodies than regular sewing stuff, maybe I should do that?"

Permalink

"...I guess it's possible I'll change my mind but it doesn't presently feel likely.

"...I draw, do you have any paper I can draw on?"

Permalink

"Yes, definitely.  Here -"  Looseleaf, mechanical pencil, pen, the random MDF board he keeps around as a lap desk.
