[ It's a good thing that Adrian doesn't know about the licking. What is with the people in his life and putting strange substances into their mouths??
At least in this case the blood was already inside of Cassian. ]
The concussion. [ Adrian repeats, looking deeply unimpressed, but he bites his tongue on the scolding he most certainly wants to give. It will just make Cassian more reluctant to tell him things like this in the future.
It helps, too, that Cassian agrees to be healed without putting up too much of a fuss. At least it means that his sense of self-preservation is strong, despite some evidence to the contrary. Adrian exhales slowly. ]
It's going to be bright. [ He gives Cassian a moment before his halo blinks into existence behind his head. Adrian drops his gaze back to the wound, and the halo gets brighter still. Just as before, the blood seems to shift to liquid gold, though the shimmer of stardust remains. The magic isn't quite as intense as it was the first time, but it's still a dose of warm and pleasant sensation that seems to ebb and flow every few seconds. ] For future reference... A fever when you have an open wound is an urgent concern. It usually means that the infection is severe. This will close the wound, but I'm going to leave you some antibiotics as well, and I would suggest you treat it gently for at least a few more days.
[ A pause as Adrian checks the wound, then determines that it's sealed well enough to dismiss his halo. The gold is even more stark against the black blood, but it's no longer a ragged open wound. He looks up at Cassian again. ] Can I ask why you are so averse to magic?
