"Truly? I should like to get a better look at your transformed state some time."

Preferably when it isn't dark and he isn't focused on healing himself. "Ah... yes, I am. Is that strange?"

He glances up- he won't be able to get rid of the marks completely yet but scar tissue is better than open wounds. He can work on the scars later on if they bother him.

"It would not usually take so long for me to heal myself, but my powers work differently here, I suppose." A few cuts should have taken seconds... but at least he still has the magicks available to him.
