Alfaru was rushing to the boy's aid the moment the slab fell on his legs, but Allet and Sylvaine both reached the boy first.  They worked together to lift the heavy stone, and at Sylvaine's question, Alfaru pulled the boy out from under the slab, allowing the women to drop the heavy load.  With these things accomplished, Alfaru went to work treating the boy's injuries.  He knew just from the weight of the slab alone that the boy's legs would be broken, but he rolled up the legs of the child's trousers to get a view of the full extent of the damage.  As he was doing this, he muttered another spell, this one to dull the feeling in the boy's legs.  This would help with the pain, especially when Alfaru set to work setting the child's bones, but he would need to see just how bad the damage was first.

As he began looking at the boy's injuries, he spoke gently to the boy.  "Talk to me.  It will take your mind off the pain," he said.  "Maybe tell me what happened.  Where are your parents?  What's your name?" he suggested, doing his part to help distract the boy from the pain while also subtly probing for answers to the questions he had been asking since he first saw the boy.  He took a moment to direct his attention to the two women.  To Allet, he asked, "Could you get me some twin leaf and spring foil?  I have some in my pack.  Also my mortar and pestle."  The first herb he could crush and mix with water to make a paste that would help with the child's bruises, while the child could chew on the other to help with the pain.  While he said this, he turned his attention to Sylvaine, glancing between the elf and the place where the slab had previously rested and jerking his head slightly in that direction in a subtle, silent suggestion that she investigate what it was the child had seemed so intent on finding while not wanting to let the child know that he had been spying on him.
