Todd:  "It’ll help you heal faster.” Todd smiled as he picked up the empty bottle.

Subaru:  Subaru wiped his mouth, then… “Sorry,” he said as he bowed slightly to Todd. “You wasted valuable medicine on someone like me.”

Todd:  “It’s fine. Honestly, if you’d left it any longer, those fingers would have started rotting off. Can’t exactly call in a favor from a swordwolf knife bearer like that.” Todd laughed magnanimously.

Subaru:  Subaru bit his lip. The reason Todd was being so friendly was that he thought Subaru was connected to high Volakian nobility. He felt bad deceiving someone who was treating him well, and his heart twinged. “Still, though, at times like this, it makes you think. I could get it fixed in no time with healing magic.” To mask his guilt, Subaru changed the subject. He was acting like it was no big deal, but it was something he had been wondering about—the treatments that seemed available here had been pretty lacking in fantasy vibes.

Todd:  “Oh? Now that’s extravagant. Healing magic isn’t something you run into every day.”

Subaru:  “…I guess that’s just how it is?”

Todd:  “Well, yeah. Of course, it would be useful if you could heal wounds or sickness as easily as lighting a fire or making a breeze,” Todd said with a shrug. “It’d heal your hand in no time, too.”

Subaru:  Subaru looked down. He felt both uneasy and relieved that his supposition had been on the mark. In the past, back before he had found out about Roswaal’s plot and thought the man was just some easygoing jester noble, Roswaal had told Subaru about the rarity of healing magic. How magic was influenced by talent, and that people who could use healing magic were incredibly precious. Add to that the fact that this camp’s medical tent was filled with poultices and bottles of medicine and stocked with medical instruments of all kinds instead of magic items. And the fact that Todd had not relied on anything magical while taking care of Subaru’s hand—just medicine and a splint. There was no mistaking it… “Healing magic really is rare.”

Todd:  “At the very least, I’ve never seen it before. From what I’ve heard, everyone who can use it is kept holed up in the capital. Either way, for regular folks, it might as well be in a different world entirely.”

Subaru:  ""

Todd:  “If anything, I’m surprised to hear you even mention it. It wouldn’t even have occurred to me as being an option.” It was something so unfamiliar, it was like it didn’t even exist. That was how little the people in the empire, or at least Todd, interacted with healing magic.

Subaru:  And so, having expected that response, Subaru just shook his head. “No—I mentioned we were travelers, right? We’ve been around, and we happened to run into someone who could use healing magic before, is all.”

Todd:  “I see. I thought your clothing was odd. Your outfits didn’t seem suitable for the heat around here.” Todd looked Subaru up and down.
