That first part gets a snort, even if Eda tries to hide it. He isn't wrong, she can't deny taking the arm being practical.

"Honestly? I'm... not sure. They don't hide the fact they use healing magic when the people who get here wouldn't survive without it." Eda's even brought up things like that, and they've been quick to admit it's hypocritical but ask if she'd prefer the alternative. To be fair, she wouldn't.

"But I don't know if they'll see losing an arm as serious enough. Or want to risk the kid learning anything about us... and the longer it is the weirder I'm betting it's gonna look if it's possible." Which means one way or another, if he wants to try and convince them it should probably be soon.
