Gavroche, on the other hand, looks to be in need of several square meals and possibly something with lots of sugar, to judge by the circles under his eyes.

He's up and walking, though, and the cuts on his palms - one on each hand - have scabbed over.

He still smells of blood, and the snakes follow him. Small. Weak. Bloodied.

"Shut it," Medusa hisses at them.

The blood might not all be his - the ends of his sleeves are soaked in it, where he didn't think to push them back before the healing.

He looks round quickly at the sound of the snakes' "words" and then hers, as a milkshake appears in front of him.

"What?"

"...it's okay", he ventures. "You don't want them to, and they can't do anything without you, can they? Doesn't matter what they said."

"It matters. I'm a Gorgon, I'm a monster. I eat people. I get in a bad mood and I get scared at my mind, and I kill people and it makes me feel better.

They are my thoughts, as much as any other. But here...no. No, it doesn't matter. I'm just tired and scared and smell of blood. I'm sorry, child."

"I'm Gavroche", he offers, looking her over. "The blood on you... it's different. Smells different, like his." This with a nod to the infirmary.

"Merlin," and her clear voice is very, very soft.

"You helped him too?" he guesses.

She, with her dress stained with his blood as she had helped him into the infirmary, nods. She holds up the palm of her right hand, slashed with her claws.

"I tried."

Gavroche nods back and echoes, "I tried. Didn't work all the way, it was too much..."

Gavroche tilts his head.

"Maybe that's why it was harder than normal. And there was so much..."

He wishes he could have grown back Merlin's wings.
