Oh. Well, he'd witnessed the former two abilities, but had yet to hear of the third, which sounds... Incredibly convenient. Though he also remembers Raju had said the powers came with drawbacks--or something like that, anyway--and so he wonders what that might be, and if it would outweigh the benefit of it.
The urgent hint to Raju's tone at his next questions earns an automatic, reflexive response. "It's nothing to be concerned with."
The rumble of the cavern is immediate, a few small stones clattering down from overhead, and James gives a sound of frustration. Fine, you gossip-loving cave system.
"I am... Much improved, from when I arrived. The scurvy seems to have resolved, and I'm beginning to heal once again." And, with that comment, he knows that either Raju will ask or the cave will throw a tantrum, so he cuts off both possibilities and begrudgingly clarifies. "I was shot several years ago, and scurvy causes wounds to reopen." And nothing can really be done about them until the scurvy has been taken care of. But now it has, and James has noticed the first signs that the three musketball holes have finally begun to heal.
