"I'll try anything once, twice just to be sure." Eugene said as he stretched his leg out again, turning his foot both ways to get the muscles to loosen up. He hadn't quite been the same person since September, but flashes of his previous sense of humor were coming back, so that had to be a good sign, right?

At her question about the depth if his injuries, Eugene sighed. "I got caught by one of the dragons, clawed from here," he started at the outside of his left thigh and ran one finger down along the scar across his knee and back around to his calf. "To here, it was pretty deep." The muscles had suffered such severe trauma that they couldn't quite fix well enough to work properly anymore. "I use the cane daily, mostly for longer distances, but that's most things at the ministry these days." Stairs were the worst. He was hoping with time it would get easier but it hadn't happened yet.
