Finn is going to have to wait on that answer. Irahl is paying far more attention to what is about to happen at his shoulder than whatever the medic is asking. Having the first sword pulled out of him was awful in a visceral, nauseating sort of way, but the sheer relief of it almost balances out the pain. He's not so lucky with the shoulder.

There are many pathways of nerves and tendons to be damaged up in the shoulder, and there's more anxiety attached to it. He only needs some of his organs to remain intact, but he definitely needs both of his arms. Also, he's aware of the fact that this sword is going to require a bit more of a yank to pull it loose.

He does what he can to brace himself for it, but still grimaces and growls between his teeth when Seth wrenches that thing up out of his shoulder as well as the stone beneath it.

As soon as he's free, Irahl clamps a hand over the newly exposed wound, but it has nothing to do with trying to stop the bleeding. Aggravated nerves are sending miniature lightning bolts of pain down his arm, so he just... needs a minute. With a quiet and annoyed groan, he rolls slowly onto his side to just breathe and bleed and enjoy not being trapped on his back anymore.

In a minute, he'll sit up or move or whatever else they want, but he's first going to close his eyes and take a couple of composing breaths before he's ready to cooperate again.
