He gives a little grimace, and lays the bandages out on a table. “I’m afraid I can’t create something from nothing. Even magic can’t fix everything.” Horvath doesn’t really know how to sugarcoat things, although he tends to try to be tactful. There’s nothing to be gained from denying reality though, in the long term. They’re all in dire straights, and pretending otherwise won’t help the situation.

“The heat is an effect of accelerated cellular activity.” There might just be a point, if somebody were on the brink of death, where this kind of healing could actually push them over the edge. There are other more esoteric methods, in the circle of life and death- the trade of one person’s life essence for another, and other darker methods. These are not things Horvath has been willing to entertain, as of yet. Some of those methods, he wouldn’t be willing to pursue under any circumstances at all. But Furiosa is on her feet and hungry, but still relatively strong. For today, what he has in mind won’t be an issue.
