But seriously, I'm not sure that Ashley would give Murkoph more realistic scars even if they were made by a lion attack, especially since he predates the comic and she seems to like him as a character. Given that, I'm not sure what to make of the fact that they seem idealized.
Well, yes, but Bell isn't going to tell the public that! We've been told by other people that Crescian justice can be very harsh, so I don't think this will seem out of place.
