Among other areas, Valerian thought, resisting the urge to examine his forearms which would risk Allendris learning more of his injuries. Of course the doctor that seemed to almost be cowering just inside the door would point out each marking soon enough but that was different and done under medical scrutiny, not simply to find something to detract from his own state which the glass-smith was clearly doing. Instead, he took his place on the empty bed, wincing only slightly at the action causing his knees to bend more than they had since the tumble. The pain in his left leg and the darkening stain on the pant leg he hadn’t noticed until that moment indicated that there was more to it than just a skinned knee and Valerian frowned slightly. He supposed he should try to roll up the material obscuring the handiwork of his running away from a pride of felines caused.
As he attempted the feat of rolling up the snug material, a wicked thought entered his mind that Valerian believed would make Allendris blush, which would be lost in the sun burn but perhaps there would be fidgeting. No, he would hold off on stripping off his garments for a little longer just like he left off rolling up the cloth so the doctor could view him as he was and not blame him for his attempts at helping actually being a hindrance.
“Yes, do look after me first as I am much more important and deserve immediate attention.” It was Allendris’ own fault for giving that opening and Valerian was in just the right mood to go ahead and waltz right through it, with a smug grin in place.
