Verloren let out a small noise as his hand was grabbed to stop him from poking at his face. He frowned a bit, but nodded his head in agreement. "[color=00aeef]Sorry. I don't have a mirror out here so I can't see it to tell if the bleeding had stopped yet or not. I'll stop poking at it now though. Well, at least until the medicine is absorbed, then I need to apply more. But other than that I'll stop touching it.[/color]" 

Almost on que, Ver lifted his other hand to try to touch at the right side of his face. But he stopped himself and shook his head a bit vigorously. Nope, touching it was bad. Touching healing wounds more than needed was bad, it added to risk of dirt and germs getting into it and causing an infection. To better take his mind off of the throbbing of his ear and cheek, he started to look around at the river and the forest as they began to wander inside of it.

The more he looked around at the outside, it felt like he was entering some place that had gone untouched by human hands. An elder dragon had once told him that humans were the real problem of the world, how they destroyed everything they touched. But the elder dragon had also told him it was humans that were still a young race, learning the ways of the world that they were not entirely built for. Compared to other things, humans were really weak. They did not heal fast, they had slow reflexes and their strength compared to the nearest humanoid-like creature was even weak. But if there was one thing that humans had that advanced over other races, they were far more adaptable to their situations. Hrmph. One small thing to be proud of.

Verloren jerked his head to the side as he looked across the river, dark grey eyes going wide as he caught sight of a rather colorful bird nestled between some of the thick underbrush. It was bright and vibrant in color compared to the various shades of green and brown of the leaves around it. A small hum escaped him as he tossed a glance to Lu with a bit of a smirk.

"[color=00aeef]I've never seen such pretty animals like this in the city.[/color]" He said, whispering. He felt it would have been disruptive to speak too loudly... he didn't want to scare the animals here. He just wanted to see them a bit more.
