บท 127: Suffering

After Professor Marth finished healing Lith's arm, the bandages were removed, revealing that it was back to normal, except for one small detail. Unlike the rest of his body, that still retained his normal colour, it was pale like it had never seen the light.

Marth didn't miss the silent question in his eyes.

"Sorry, I don't know how Manohar manages to do that. In theory it's impossible for new skin to retain any kind of tan, but that doesn't stop him from doing it anyway."

Then, whispered in Lith's ear:

"It's better if you go to Manohar later, if the skin problem bothers you. I don't feel like bringing him back here would be a good idea."

Lith nodded, both the Headmaster and his father probably wouldn't be able to take in another one of his pep talks.

"Professor, you have yet to tell me what happened after I lost consciousness." - Thanks to Solus, Lith already knew the answer , but he needed to pretend to be curious about it.
