Kit raises his eyebrows. There's definitely a story there, but he's going to have to wait to hear the details of it until another time, after he's had his leg dealt with--a task which will, it seems, need to be undertaken by a different mage. Kit exhales slowly, his expression a strange blend of both relief and disappointment; like hearing that a much needed but frightening surgery has been postponed for another day.
"It's all right," he's quick to say, and to offer up one of his rather trademark lopsided grins in an expression of reassurance. Already, he's waving off the last of Vandelin's apologies, chagrined for having approached him about the issue at all. "Really, it's--you know, it's not even that bad anymore, and I haven't needed to take any elfroot for the pain in days." That's a bit of a fib, but as far as white lies go, he thinks it's a tolerable one. Maybe it'll even be true in time for him to take up his axes and venture into the Kocari Wilds in a few weeks.
He starts to take a step back towards the end of the range. "Don't worry about it," he says again. "I'll catch up with you some other time, when you're not studying." Curious, he looks to the titles of the books that Vandelin is perusing, trying to glean some idea of just what his new friend is researching.
