Zoremet was very torn as he leaned back against Zelly while she read a book that Orgailian had found for her. He would have been leaning against Lazerat, but he was still finishing his lunch as they sat outside in the sun. So instead he stayed with Zelly and reached up to scratch at the fresh stitches in his neck. Most of his stitches were out at least, the slash that went over his left elbow was still stitched up since it went over the joint and kept pulling whenever he moved, but the healer had been especially displeased about the wound in his neck for some reason and had judiciously applied some numb weed to it before doing an entire new row of stitches there.
"Stop picking at them. You were messing with them in your sleep and that's probably why they haven't healed yet." Zelana hadn't even looked up from her book as she scolded him, probably something she'd just naturally absorbed from visiting him and Gail so much in the infirmary and being around Benden's grumpiest healer. Zory huffed, straightened up, and pinched his fingers around one of the stitches in direct defiance. He gave it a small gentle tug as he stuck his tongue out at her. It stung, but it was worth it just to see her roll her eyes at him before they both had a quick giggle.
Only now he really did want to poke it more and gave it a gentle rub to try and soothe that sting before he reluctantly pulled his hand away, shoving it under his other arm to hide his missing finger. It was still weird to catch a glimpse of out the corner of his eye, and Zory didn't like other people taking note of it and bringing it back up either. Maybe he'd get used to it with time, at least that was what his brothers had said.
He glanced over to see if Lazerat was done eating yet, and decided he at least had had enough that he was fair game for cuddles. Or at least his legs were. He scooted over and carefully settled down on the grass to rest his head on the other man's lap as a pillow. "Are you excited for the Hatching? it should be soon." He blinked up at the handsome holder man and smiled, once again getting a giddy feeling that he was part of the reason Laz was there. It was because he'd been injured... and probably because he was worried something might also happen to Zelly, he reasoned, but still! At least part of it had been for him! "Did you do or see anything fun on your ship trip?"
