Lio remains stoic for the first wound. He can feel the magic running from Galo into him, can feel his body responding to it. It's strange but not terrible for the first one, but the healer is not wrong about the next one sucking. Lio flinches as the bandage is removed and braces himself.
It still takes his breath away and he swallows down most but not all of a whimper. It hurts, but he can feel his body healing under Galo's touch. It has Lio breathing a bit quicker, but he's good. And focusing on Galo's words takes his mind off it.
"You want to talk to the dragons?" The irony of it is, well, enough that Lio has to bite back a laugh. Talk away, Galo, the dragon lord is right in front of you, watching like he can barely believe what he's hearing.
"I could help with that," he offers, tentative. He doesn't want to give away who he is, but if he leans into the fire mage thing. "Dragons and fire mages used to be closely entwined. Some of us still remember the old ways." Those words are entirely true. He's just saying it in a way that when he says us he hopes Galo thinks he means fire mages, when he really means dragons.
