Keoth opened his mouth to steer Atticus in a different direction, but stopped when Apollo started for him. He wasn't really well versed in medicine or science - even on a basic tribal level - so he started having trouble following Apollo.
"Yeah, we did have a shaman back at home though and I think once or twice my old village was even run by a shaman, instead of a chieftain..." He mused, scratching his chin, and got sidetracked wishing- not for the first time - that he was able to grow some sort of stubble. Like. A manly stubble or something.
Atticus's question again cut through his musings. "Oh. Yeah. Pretty much. Like. Well, he makes all his own medicines and stuff. He's old fashioned and doesn't trust proper meds. He also does know some minor magic. Though he doesn't use it for more than pain relief. And... in most other respects, he's a normal doctor. Well. A blind doctor. Oh hey look, it's another egg."
He interrupted his own train of thought to point at another egg, poking it's head out of a basket next to a stand. Which, in itself presented a problem. How to take it without being noticed and accused of shoplifting?
"You reckon he's looking in this direction?" Keoth asked Atticus, his voice low.
