The tremors that had plagued Tanglewood for one long night had come and gone, and thankfully Alaric's home had been one of the few spared. He was unsure of how this had become the case, but he was grateful for it. What he wasn't grateful for was the fact that he now had to quarter families displaced by the collapse of homes, considering Alaric was more of a solitary creature. Their presence was marked by a rather large resting space in a corner of his home, decidedly quite far from Alaric's bed and piles of books and herb stash. He was able to work through the irritation that their intrusion caused by reassuring himself that it was only temporary, and that once their home was rebuilt he'd regain his privacy. This evening they happened to be gone—as to where he didn't care.
While his home had been spared from the tremors' waves of destruction, his eyesight had not been. The force of a tree branch—still attached to the tree—had been enough to knock out the vision in his left eye. Research had led him to believe that he had been afflicted with traumatic optic neuropathy, a condition with no cure. There were no visible differences between his eye with or without eyesight, and he had yet to tell anyone about his affliction. Even Isaac, his mentor, didn't know; Alaric was afraid that if he said anything he'd be barred from helping assist in the medical care of those injured by the quake.
Aurum was someone that the tabby knew to only have one eye as well. Maybe...? No, he probably wouldn't open up to the proxy about it. Probably.
"You're not interrupting anything," Alaric stated with a firm shake of his head. He watched with a sort of dull interest as the lion approached with the request of being taught some things about medicine. His logic about not wanting to go to the medics was admittedly quite sound, and that same line of reasoning had been why he made the choice to go to Isaac instead of Selby.
"What do you want to know?" the tabby asked after a moment, his tail flicking in curiosity as he spoke.
