Squint

Solaire chuckled as his sister pointed out how long it must take to do this over and over to all of this fabric. "It's actually going faster than it usually does since you have your claws to cut it with!" he replied enthusiastically. If Ember wasn't careful he'd try to recruit her to help him make bandages all the time. "I've gotten pretty fast at it usually, but this is even better." If only he could teach Dovleac to roll bandages, then he'd really be set! He wasn't surprised at all when Ember told him that she had been spending her time practicing with her new sword, but he did grin and laugh a bit at her impression of their dad. Artorias was always harping on them about weapon safety and even though he totally understood why he couldn't help but roll his eyes a little at it after a while. They were all super careful and they were hardly allowed to practice with their real weapons anyway. Solaire was just as excited about his new axe and whenever he wasn't here in the infirmary with their aunt he tried to squeeze in as much training time as their dad would allow.

He took another stack of fabric strips from his sister and had to blink and squint a bit until he got his vision into a more comfortable state before he could start rolling them into neat bundles and putting them off to the side in a basket that was slowly filling up with other bandages. At this rate they'd have a full basket in no time! He glanced up at Ember as she turned the question back on him with a teasing comment about his singing to the plants in the greenhouse. "Hey! They really like it when I talk to them!" he insisted, but even he couldn't resist chuckling and grinning at her teasing. He knew Ember never meant anything as an actually hurtful comment so he could enjoy her comments that poked fun at him. "Well, I've been doing a lot of this kind of stuff, obviously... Helping out Aunt Gwyn and the other healers around the infirmary and trying to memorize all the different plants." He paused his bandage rolling to rub at his eyes with one of his large paws before getting back to it a moment later. "I've been trying to teach Dovleac some fighting moves too... Mostly biting at ankles and running away."
