Accounting for the difference of slightly over a head in height, this is exactly the same way Popp always hauls Dai around after a tough ordeal, which makes a lot of sense considering who he learned it from. Why must everything in this household be a secret nostalgia minefield.

Well, that's even more mending for Avan to do. Popp's not great with a needle and he's not too proud to admit it. He has a drink of froggy painkiller and wipes his face on the torn shirt to make sure he's presentable - oh, yep, that's more blood, yikes...? Come to think of it, didn't this happen with Hyunkel and a surprise attack, too? Maybe it's a good thing Avan hasn't learned any of his old moves.

Even if he is good at moving around like you can do once you've mastered seeing with your heart. Maybe the glasses (the glasses...) are only for close up things like reading? Is that better or worse if he has to stitch him up. Should he be worried. More worried than he already is?
