Yeah, but he's only attacking me 'cuz he's scared deep down. But I've been feeding him whenever I can. So he knows he can trust me if somethin' happens.

( there's a subtle eye twitch when the alcohol meets her wound. it doesn't sting per say, but there's an odd and null sensation that she does feel. and it's a little strange to experience due to her blood's side effect of not noticing pain ninety-eight percent of the time. )

And I don't keep him. He stays out here. I just, y'know, visit him.

He watches her reaction, such as it is. He's concerned she can't accurately feel the pain, but on the other hand he doesn't need to hold her still. He's able to finish with patching her up in a timely manner, which is important just in case the blood attracts Beasts. Altaïr doesn't want to compromise everyone on this expedition.

"If he keeps attacking you, then aren't you just continuing to frighten him? Do you know what caused him to be frightened to begin with?"

You're a goof. All animals are about their territory. Yeah, I might be wanderin' in his habitat, but I'm givin' him love and food every day. In time, he'll learn to trust me. I know it, I can sense it.

( at least the beast isn't growling so heavily anymore. the wolf is still grumbling but it's subdued and on the drowsy side. )

Thanks for the patch-up, Bub. — I owe ya one. How about I'll fix any of your stuff if they get banged up?

"Then you're invading his home," he says flatly. Altaïr can't resist being stubborn, but he's also too tired to really argue.

"Patching up things is what you do?" There's a trace of amusement in his voice if not his expression. He just has one of those faces that makes his brows seem permanently fixed in a straight line. "Do you make them as well?"

It's not an idle question. He's been looking for a trustworthy smith to make him a secret item. He doubts he'd put his life in Jinx's hands, but the knowledge of a smith in his debt is worth tucking away.
