At the very least, most of it is covered by tape even now, but there is part of it on his hand that Takao can see. He glances at the scar. He's gotten used to it now, so he hadn't thought about hiding it. His more recent endeavor was what he was thinking of...

"I'm fine now, Takao. The damage was superficial. Tape doesn't protect against demonic vine plants. I have special gloves for archery, it's safer than any direct attempts."

The gloves protect his fingers, and he had someone who was excellent at it teach him safety and basics. From there, it was just a matter of practice and more practice.

"Weiss was able to activate something called an 'aura' for me, so now I can heal and defend against damage on my own. Moonlacing can also improve the healing process if necessary. It won't happen again."
