Eyes wide open [Open healing training!]

Since he was a child Malleus had lived and breathed fighting. He'd dreamed of little else for the first year of his life. It seemed like most of his family was that way. Sure, there were a few healers and shamans and the occasional clever little oddity, but by and large he'd spent most of his time among fighters learning how to fight. As far as healing went he was largely self taught. It wasn't any wonder, really, that his knowledge was pretty narrow. He knew the things that were the most relevant to his situation. Malleus was glad he found Jouko. He recognized that he needed to know more than simply how to bandage a wound or combat an infection, and even though this healer was young, he seemed to be an eager and knowledgeable teacher. Malleus took in the torrent of new information with interest. The idea of using bugs was pretty novel to him - gross, really - but how much more disgusting was that than say, chewing up a wad of leaves and spitting the mixture onto a wound? He just needed to get over the 'ick' factor. When Jouko revealed the contents of the last bundle, Malleus' face lit up. Finally, something he knew a little bit about! What he knew about honey was limited, but he did know it could be used on a wound. He hadn't considered pairing it with lamb's ear - the opportunity had never presented itself - but it was something he'd certainly keep in mind. Perhaps he could find a way to store the sticky substance somehow so it would be a little more accessible. Finally it was time for questions.
