"They are serious, Ragnar," Athelstan counters and he's gentle as he can be, trying to make sure the wounds are clean before he's carefully wrapping them back up. He doesn't knows that Ragnar needs far more treatment than this and that the other is going to be stubborn about it.

"You need to see a healer, please. These are serious, they are not small and harmless burns..."

The worry is evident in Athelstan's voice if not his expression. He is far more worried about what could go wrong with such wounds than even the pain. He knows that Ragnar would not care too much about it but what if this could truly cause him permanent harm if he didn't get help?
