The wrapping job and his 'reply' were answer enough. He had at least some training, even if it wasn't years and years. Bandages and basic wound care were pretty novice level when it came to healer training, but the practiced ease of his movements led her to believe he'd had at least a year or two as an apprentice. She rolled her ankle a bit to test both the pain level in her leg and the tightness of the bandages, finding them satisfactory before lowering her limb from the table.
As Ar'din backed off and Alque pulled his wing back, Yulan slunk over to her rider to press her head against her good leg, kreeling softly as she looked up at Shar, eyes grey and yellow once again. Shar gave a little scoff and reached down to scoop up the small dragon, one of the few riders still able to do so with ease. Although Shar wasn't tall by any means, Yulan had barely grown an inch since she had hatched. Some of her siblings were already getting cumbersome to be held.
You stop that right now. It wasn't bad, she scolded lightly, running her hand along Yulaniath's neck to soothe her as the small dragon rested her tiny head against Shar's chest.
But it hurt you, Yulan said, closing her eyes with relief at the comfort her rider was giving her. Shar snorted again as she rubbed a finger along Yulan's cheek, scratching under her chin gently.
Lots of things hurt. Pain is temporary. I'm fine now, she insisted, to which Yulan sighed and opened her eyes just in time for the blank parchment to be tossed in front of the pair. The little dragon whipped her head around to stare at Ar'din, grey eyes flashing with red now instead of yellow, irritated at his demanding tone of voice. Shar didn't seem phased, though, and glanced from the parchment to Ar'din.
"I'll help you get your ideas down but I'm not writing it," she replied, shifting Yulan to one arm so she could push the paper back. "The assignments are only going to get harder and if you have me do this first one for you how are you going to do the rest? I'm not going to smash my leg into a table every time we have a paper to write."
