"Hey, I have been wondering something. Why did you refuse to let Selphira heal your arm yesterday? She could have just amputated the petrified chunks little by little, while regenerating the missing tissue in small sections, and had you back on your feet in a matter of hours."
"That was certainly an option," Ren admitted, keeping his eyes locked on the construction sites far below. "But forcefully ripping out the crystallized flesh is not just severely painful… And I mean, the pain itself is not cool but still manageable for me. The real issue is that natural water regeneration resets the affected area mana channels as if they were brand new. It reformats the entire internal plumbing, and I cannot afford that kind of setback right now."
"Why not? Brand new channels sound a lot better than old, cracked ones."
