Raine watched his movements all the while, eyes sharp, looking for anything out of the ordinary beyond slow and cautious. 'Of course' was not a comforting phrase. There was no normal situation in which sleep habits getting worse merited an 'of course.' This implied... what? Trouble acclimating, or recent trauma?
She would not have cared to bet on which was more likely.
"A brief summary," Raine answered. "He said your sensitivity to pain has increased, and that you've had recurring headaches." Her mouth quirked wryly. "He also referred to you as his 'idiot brother.' I take it you're adopted. That's all he told me, however; I don't know if it was in concern for your privacy, or assuming I would prefer the primary source in any case."
It was evident he'd left things out. Her expression shifted to something that looked faintly apologetic. "If it was the latter, he was correct. Tell me about what you've been experiencing, please. Don't leave anything out, no matter how embarrassing or trivial; I would prefer not to have to lecture about hiding things from one's healer, again." It's downright endemic in this city, and it's very frustrating.
