A few small fish had darted through the water as the blood filtered outward, zipping through the crystalline water to nibble at the dead flesh around the wound. His mother had once told him that when dealing with serious infections or possible necrotic tissue, a pond full of minnows might be useful. However, he was fairly certain he needed that flesh right now. Tracking those little silver bodies as they cut through the water distracted him from the burn of salt water against his wound. He should probably get out of here, this wasn't as helpful as he had hoped. Now that the sludge of old herbs had been washed away, it was probably well enough disinfected.

“Out of the water” A decidedly feminine voice commanded from behind him. The titan swung his great head about to fix her with a dull, disinterested stare. She was a tiny thing, likely to barely reach his elbows. He didn't bother to fix his expression into something more welcoming. After all, she had just tried to boss him around. "Beg your pardon?" he drawled, though he had no interest in hearing her repeat her demand. He did, however, rise to his paws and turn slowly about to face her. Towering over this delicate fae even at this distance, the tusked goliath stared coolly at her. He made no move to exit the water, which was now streaming from his belly fur in rivulets, and dripping down his limbs. "Who are you to command me?" he questioned next, his rumbling baritones edging upon a growl. No one told an Aeris what to do.
