"Hun, are you sure this is going to work?" Stella had stitched up plenty of different things in her life, some of them including people, but she had never been asked to reattach an entire arm before. Thankfully the other had cleaned themselves up and was no longer dripping red fluids when they came inside. So.. she supposed that was gentlemanly enough, but he looked awfully tired now. Astra was trying to help as best he could, bringing glasses of water that the light haired male drank every time. Giving pats to the small fluffy fox encouraged them to continue the small pampering.

Nodding, Jhin smiled behind his mask at the kind owner. He was on a bit of a time crunch at the moment and didn't have time to go to a normal doctor, fill out paperwork, wait in line, wait again for the doctor to get to his room. The injury may look serious, but for once, thank to his refusal to drink blood, he merely lost the small amount that his friend was insistent he have so it didn't make much of a mess.

Astra bringing up the fifth glass of water, the man thanked him once again, but this time it didn't disappear as quickly as the others. Giving the concerned dragon a moment to prop their paws up on their knees, he made big eyes at Stella first. "You're gonna be gentle right?" Looking at each other for a brief moment, Jhin and Stella both gave such nice, convincing grins to the fox. "Of course darling, I wouldn't want to make this poor, handsome young man suffer any more than he already seems to have." Still giving her the biggest eyes, he could see that needle she had brought out specifically for patching up people. That was not the nice needle. "It's alright, it's happened before. It doesn't hurt." Though even as he said this he flinched slightly at the start, Stella figuring now was a good enough distraction to poke the other. "What in the world even happened dear?"

Sighing, Jhin rubbed at the back of his short hair with his working arm. "Ah well, there's a new Griffon at my aviary back home. They're still a little nervous around others and one of the dragons got a little too close. I had to get them out of the way." Humming at the quick summery, Stella supposed that was a good enough excuse to give an arm up over, especially if you could simply reattach it again. "You don't look like a zombie!" Astra piped up, his curiosity on the same wave as his rider's at the moment, but she hadn't felt it quite right to ask that deeply into his story. The man simply chuckled however, not seeming to mind in the least. "Hm, well, that's probably because I'm not. I'm half undead though, which comes with all sorts of benefits." Getting that long ooooh from the pretty fox, he started kneading their knees, looking much more pleased learning this. Which was good enough for Jhin, he hated worrying people, especially over himself, he was more of a caretaker.

"Alright dear, you're all ready to go." Making sure the last stitch was tied tightly, Stella gave the arm a gentle pat, at least getting a smile instead of a flinch of the man. "Thank you very much Madam. I'll send one of my dragons back with payment as soon as I get home." Waving him off at the door, she watched the other sprint away, turning to shake her head at Astra. "Let's get back inside then shall we? We're a little behind on that dress now."
