When Bordtai heard the healer say that it didn't look serious, his demenor brightened ever so slightly - or at least wasn't so dark. Hear was a healer, and more importantly, an adult who might actually believe Bordtai when he said he was fine. With the prospsect of a possible ally against the strange rider-father, the boy actually took a moment to heave his thin frame onto the bed to sit while the man came back with the wet cloth.
While it pleased him immensly and made his guard fall a little more, Bordtai had not been expecting the man to offer him the cloth. Someone was actually listening. Eyes that had widened in surprise closed after he took the cloth offered and went to work scrubbing his face, his touch only becoming gentler around his sore nose and puffy, tender lip. Where it was split open stung, but he held the cloth there a moment anyways to make sure it was clean.
Lowering the cloth, he made a face at B'jin and his daughter. "See, I'm fine under the dirt." At the question about 'basic' first aid, however, Bordtai looked back at the healer, confidence wavering and confusion clear on his face. "What's 'basic first aid'?" Wrinkling his nose he thought of that terrible tea the last time he had been given while here. "Does it involve drinking anything?"
