Before Iasc knew it the dog had tackled him to the ground and was licking his face enthusiastically. Iasc couldn't help but laugh, his sour mood turning.

“I think I know where the healers are”, he told the two men after a chime. “I know whereabouts they are but I have never had need of their services. I'd be happy to lead the way though.” Iasc got back to his feet. “What are your names, if you don't mind my asking?” Iasc added.
