[ Era watches closely as Janus deposits the man outside. It hurts her just a little to leave an injured person alone, but she is also accustomed to healing during war and knows that it's a necessary evil at times. She puts him out of her mind and focuses instead on her friend.
Their words startle her, causing Era to reflexively tug at her hood only to realize she discarded it a while back. It isn't that she doesn't trust Janus - far from it, in fact - but losing her horn is a shame that weighs on her heavily, and not just because it annihilated her hearing, balance, and spacial awareness. What Janus says next draws a scowl from her. Aymeric had thought the same, if only for a moment. Though her dear friend realized very quickly that trying to keep her away from a place she could offer help (and she is still of help regardless of her injury) was a futile effort. ]
No.
[ She makes no effort to force their hand away from her. Janus has already seen the damage - to touch it makes no difference, for all that it still sends a shiver down her spine to feel touch where there should be none. It's naught but a thick layer of scaly bone where one might find an ear, smoothed with finely-grit paper by Era herself so that there would be no jagged edges. Already some protective scales have begun to grow over it, ones that will harden later on (or so Era assumes. she has no Auri family who would have taught her about her biology and how regrowth might work, and no Auri friends until very recently). ]
