He nodded, believing him now. “Thank you.” He said softly, smiling up at him gently. “So, are you ready to keep going then?” He asked.

"You're welcome. And yeah! We'll be at the healer's in no time." Arien adjusted his hold on Rafael a bit, then took off, smiling softly.

He nodded, his smile widening as they began to get moving again. He wouldn’t say anything else for the remainder of their trip.

Arien was quite as well. He hummed softly, just content to hold Rafael as he ran. It was a solid hour, like he had said, before he finally started to slow down.
"We're here," he said.

He nodded, feeling himself start to get nervous again. What if there wasn’t anything they could do to fix it? He didn’t know what he’d do with himself…

Arien felt the shift in Rafael, holding him close. He walked towards the entrance, looking down at Rafael.
"It'll be okay," he said softly.

“Okay..” He said quietly. “You’ll stay with me right?” He asked, leaning into the other more.

"I will, promise," Arien said softly. He rested his head on Rafael's, rubbing his back a bit.

“Thank you.” He whispered, taking a deep breath. “I’m ready whenever you are then. C-Can you put me down?”

"I can," Arien assured. He set Rafael down, holding his hand still. "As long as you're ready, then we should go in now…"

“Yeah..let’s go.” He said, holding tightly onto Arien’s hand so he wouldn’t lose the other.

Arien gave Rafael's hand a squeeze, heading into the home with Rafael. It was warm, and cozy. He smiled softly, keeping close to Rafael.

Rafael was grateful that nothing was super overwhelming for him as soon as he got inside. It let him be able to relax a bit, so he wasn’t gripping Arien’s hand quite as tight.

Arien moved over to the side. There were a few others in the building, but this place was a safe haven for all, even humans who found out about it.

He hummed softly, a small smile appearing on his face. He didn’t know why, but he naturally felt safe here.

Arien rested his head on Rafael's shoulder. Eventually, the healer made her way over.
"Hello," she said, voice sweet. "How can I help you today?"

“U-um..” He stammered a bit, trying to figure out how to explain it, before just going with the simplest answer. “I recently was blinded and we just wanted to see if there was anything you could do to fix it? Or at least make it a bit better?”

The healer nodded a bit, even if Rafael couldn't see it.
"I see! Is it alright for me to examine your eyes?" Arien lightly squeezed Rafael's hand.

He nodded, squeezing Arien’s hand back tightly. Definitely not enough to actually hurt Arien but still.

The woman reached out, lightly taking Rafael's head in her hands. She used her fingers to open his eyelids a bit more, examining the cloudy surface.

He did his best to stay calm, reminding himself that she was here to help him, not hurt him. He stayed as still as he could, his only real motion was to lessen his hold on Arien’s hand, his grip more relaxed now.

Arien rubbed the back of Rafael's hand lightly. The woman pulled away after a moment.
"Well," she said, smiling softly. "There is good news with this."

“And?” He asked softly, not letting himself get his hopes up yet until he actually heard what she had to say.

"We will be able to treat this," the healer finally said. "But it may take some time." Arien let out a sigh of relief, grinning.

He smiled widely, feeling like a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders. “Thank you so much.”

Arien gave Rafael's hand a squeeze, still grinning.
"Come back in a couple days," the healer said. "Until then, make sure to take this at least once a day." She handed Rafael a small vial.
"Just a couple drops will do."

“Okay. Thank you again.” He squeezed Arien’s hand tightly, trying to contain his excitement.

Arien stood as the healer left, helping Rafael up. He hugged the human close.
"Told you everything would be okay," he said, grinning still.

He hugged Arien tightly, a big smile on his face. “Oh shush, no need to say you told me so.” He jokingly punched the other in the shoulder before going right back to hugging him.

Arien laughed lightly.
"H-hey!" He said teasingly when Rafael punched his shoulder. He hugged Rafael close to himself, letting out a breath. He buried his head in the human's shoulder, still grinning.
"I'm just glad you're going to be okay."
