Meanwhile, Elder Zhen Ren, who was still seated across from him, was utterly shaken. At last, he said:
"Apologies, Magus. I had to make sure with my own eyes that you weren't disguising yourself as someone else."

There was something he noticed from his interaction with others. The disfiguration of his skin was worse than he had thought. He had spent most of his time in seclusion in the jungles of Mabi, so he didn't know how bad his injuries truly were.
