[ Jonathan nods. He is pleased to see that his ward has not given up the will to live, as it were, despite the circumstances his new life leads him to be. He comes to the conclusion that it is a problem where Aymeric has not kept his greater and additional senses honed, and perhaps he was merely overwhelmed.

The lack of answer leads him to frown ever so slightly. The doctor is aware of Aymeric's personality and the fact he does not often--if ever--lie. Perhaps it is shame that keeps him from giving an answer? Which, if such is the case, would mean he has fed from another person.

However, before Jonathan can question further, it is Estinien who speaks: ]

His wound was life threatening, thus I took him to a woman I knew would heal him for a price. The Witch of the Wilds. [ He makes direct eye contact with Jonathan, caring little for the reaction his brother must have. ] I presume he fed from her. She seemed quite certain she could care for him in both wound and his nature.

So much so, that, she returned to Ishgard with us.
