Alfyn gazed at the man for a moment deep in thought. The name Michael wasn't unfamiliar to him and the man's characteristics appeared somewhat familiar to him but maybe it was just the pretty face he had albeit full of scars. Maybe he could try and heal them for him, Alfyn mused but he wasn't going to offer in fear of coming off as rude, after all Michael could have had them healed if he wanted to, probably, he wasn't particularly aware of his situation and decided to leave his thoughts on the matter there and focus on more pressing issues like the quest.
Before that, he learned the name of the creature's race, Exceed, he knew of them but only through books. Alfyn's curiosity peaked as he approached Samuel looking at him from all directions excusing himself by saying that he had only read about Exceeds but never before saw one. He went closer to him and bent down standing on his toes so he could be closer to Samuel's face and exclaiming what a cutie he was seconds later while dying in his head from wanting to pinch his cheeks but there was no further reason to ridicule himself.
Alfyn stood up apologizing for the reaction and went back to the matter at hand. He explained the basics of the quest that they would have to travel to a nearby town to offer medical assistance, having two choices that of magic or actual medicine. Alfyn shared that he was proficient in medicine, although not an actual doctor himself, and would help that way. He could have gone the magic route, after all he was proficient in healing magic but he didn't want people relying on magic when there were other ways. He then inquired whether Michael possessed healing magic or medical skills and if he had trouble with the latter he would be more than happy to help him out. With a semi smiling face he awaited his answer before bringing out his map lacrima and heading towards their destination.
