Ajani - Can't heal himself

“Why don’t you just mend yourself? You were always my best healer.”

“I’ve tried. It doesn’t work like that for me. It’s like when the humans hunted me, remember?”

“I remember. I found you wounded and outmatched—despite you being perfectly capable of handling those foolish creatures on your own.”

“I couldn’t do it alone. I couldn’t bring out my own—my own self, or mend my own wounds. It’s just never worked like that. I could always see the light inside you, though—I could feel the way the threads ran, and could set them right when they were arranged incorrectly. I could never see that inside myself. I’m opaque to my own eyes.”
