Bordtai had been listening intently, curious to the answer until the healer mentioned that he'd be looking for bruises and broken things. Wincing, his chin fell to his chest and he let out a sigh. "I said I was fine." Was the mutter he seemed to favor thus far, though it was quieter this time.
As the additional questions followed, he answered them obediently when they were aimed at him, though the degree of truth was debatable. "No, nothin' hurts." He said, though he left out adding that it didn't hurt till someone touched the worst of the fresh bruises hidden beneath his shirt.
"No cuts, jus' the lip, but that ain't nothin." Full truth there... at least last he checked. He didn't miss the soft questions that seemed more directed toward the rider-father, though he didn't try to interupt their convo by answering himself. Instead he studied his feet before asking, "Since nothing hurts, can we skip the looking and leave me be?"
