Elon felt somewhat guilty for lying, mostly because he didn't truly believe that she'd help him. It didn't feel right to take advantage of her kind nature, yet his heart skirted when she took a seat close to him. He gave her one of his burnt hands.

"Oh, don't feel sorry, I'm not dying or anything! I've had worse burns when I was playing with the Floo powder at home," he assured her. He'd already gotten her to be his nurse, he wasn't going to be a baby about it.
