[It's quiet when Alear says that, though--and she tenses when his hand brushes over the burn. It stings, to say the least, and she's not sure what it says about her that she doesn't pull back. It's certainly not a light burn in the slightest, and someone with less pain tolerance or resistance would've probably cried out.
Alear isn't sure what it says about her that she doesn't, or that she doesn't pull away when he could easily make it so much worse or cause her more pain. But then he brandishes his staff and it doesn't take long before the wound is just a memory, and all be told, Alear can't help but blink a bit at it.]
...Amazing. There's not even a scar left behind. [She sounds genuinely impressed.] Nothing for Vander or the others to worry over at all. I didn't realize you were so talented.
[Ugh. Alear looks right back at him before fixing him with an eyeroll of her own; she'll start to get up, though, and she'll even offer him that hand to help him up.]
Yes, yes. I'll be certain to keep that in mind. Come on, though, we should go back to the others.

No need to make such a fuss. I know my own magic better than anyone else, so healing it's no problem.
[Still, it's... different to hear praise from someone who isn't Zephia. And even Zephia isn't one to offer praise for something so... minor.]
You're welcome. Try not to underestimate me next time.

As you command, O Divine One.
[And just to be an annoyance, he holds onto her hand for just a bit too long to truly be comfortable before laughing and heading off.]
