Zik was still not convinced, and he scoffed at anyone who advised him otherwise. He was too cautious for one thing, but other than that, he was a man who was set in his ways.

The limp he had when he walked, had accompanied him for years. He was used to it, he was even used to the pain, and used his pain as fuel when he was on the hunt. Rage often helped him send his prey to their doom.

Foot injuries for hunters who did not wear shoes were common. Some injuries were worse than others, but since he could still walk and even run when he had a solid motive to do so, Zik had personified his pain over the years. It was part of his identity.

Nevertheless, he had enough infected wounds, and bug bites on him to kill him before the day ended. Parasites and bacteria do not care about feelings.

For that matter, Jimmy had to insist, "Come on, man, there's a damn maggot in your arm. Your wounds are infected with everything under the damn sun."

Zik looked at his arm, and sighed. He was defeated, but he still felt entitled to state some ground rules, and he was anything but indirect.

"Alright, I'll let you have a look." Zik said. "By that I mean, you may grab my chest. If touching a man tickles your balls then that's fine by me, but do not touch my dick. Even if I get worse and die, do not touch my dick."

"For goodness' sake, Zik!" Cika, the thirty-seven year old woman, exclaimed. "Lay down there, and let him help you! That boy just saved my life, by squeezing my breasts, and judging from the way he held my breasts, I can sure as fuck tell you one thing! If this boy likes men, then I like to hump river fish! He does not like you, he just wants to help."

"Don't get me started on river fish," He grunted, and pouted as he laid down. "Do your worst, kid, I lost half of my dick anyway. A damn fish bit it off many moons ago, so there isn't much you can do to me, even if you get excited. I'm ready."

'Ready? More like delirious from the fucking maggots.' Jimmy thought. 'Wait, is he serious about his dick?'

Jimmy wanted to ask Zik if he was really missing half of his penis, but he couldn't gather the guts to do so. It took a miracle to have him lay down, or basically, the scolding of a woman, and Jimmy didn't want to blow his chances now.

Wasting no time, he grabbed onto Zik's chests right away, and was frustrated, and horny enough to tap into his bloodstream immediately! He did not struggle, and besides, even though Zik was as hairy as a bear, all the nagging he mumbled through so far certainly made him sound like a woman. For that matter, Jimmy maintained his libido.

'Jesus H. Christ!' He grunted, but did not utter a word. 'He has an entire ecosystem of bacteria and parasites inside him! How the hell is he even alive?'

It was an overall horrifying experience to explore Zik's body, but despite all of that, he could still heal this old bear. Jimmy simply closed his eyes, and imagined that he was holding Nechi's breasts, which kept his arousal alive. It was effective enough.

With little effort, he boosted Zik's immune system to the maximum by increasing his count of white blood cells. Zik was going to need several days to flush all the parasites and bacteria away, but he was already starting to feel better.

Jimmy managed to close his wounds entirely, which at the very least, no longer made Zik susceptible to maggots, or other insects that liked to feed on flesh. His health boosted significantly the moment his wounds sealed up.

With those two major issues out of the way, he then started doing work that required a lot more precision. At first he scanned Zik's skeleton, and found thirteen cracks across it. Some were old cracks that never healed, some of them were new, and perhaps more importantly, two of his toes were cracked, on his left foot.

Jimmy healed all thirteen cracks in under ten minutes. At this point, Gutaxun had made it out of the High Grasslands already, and he was actively looking for food, but now was not the time to eat. Zik still needed some help.

Since he had limped around for years, Zik's toes were also curled, bone and all. Now this required a lot more work to fix, so Jimmy first flushed a lot of blood towards those toes, as to keep them warm and healthy, and then he started re-arranging the toe bones.

This was a painful process for Zik, but he could feel what Jimmy was doing, so he did not protest. He took it like a champ.

Slowly and carefully, bit by bit, Jimmy straightened Zik's toes, and got them back in a healthy shape. It was a long process, it required precision, but Jimmy succeeded. He had healed Gutaxun's foot before, and Gutaxun had far larger feet in comparison, so he had some practice.

Zik was finally able to relax. He stopped clenching his fists, and let out a deep sigh. He was alright, but he did not sit up, as he thought that there was more of him to fix.

This was good, because now, Jimmy wanted to do him a huge favor. He wanted to restore Zik's penis!

Well, his original penis had been chewed up, and shat out by some predatory river fish, but Jimmy was confident enough to generate, or regenerate a new penis for Zik.

This of course meant that he had to think about Zik's penis, and like it. This was not easy.

It took a lot of willpower, especially since neither of them flung that way, but he was able to visualize Zik's penis, or a general penis that he could use like a blueprint.

Jimmy had been unsure of his ability to regenerate several ounces of flesh that had been gone for years, but he figured out that regenerating flesh was just as easy as fixing one's bones, if not easier.

In just five minutes, he regenerated Zik's penis entirely. This was an uncomfortable process for the both of them, but neither of them had the guts to complain. It would be against their best interest to complain.

Judging from the blood flow tests, or otherwise described as Zik's penis finally coming home from a vacation, and turning into a huge boner, Jimmy concluded that Zik's new penis was healthy, and functional. He could get a few more years of use out of it, before it started becoming droopy from old age.

The ladies saw the cloth around Zik's crotch bulge up, but they didn't comment on it. They didn't make a sound, and allowed Jimmy to work in peace.

At last, Jimmy let go of Zik's chest, and asked him to sit up. The healing process was over, and the both of them hoped that it never had to be repeated again.

"You should be alright now," Jimmy patted him on the back. "I fixed your toes, and uh… you might have noticed what else I fixed."

"Well, I'll be damned…" Zik gasped.

Reaching his hands past his fur clothes, and right into his crotch, Zik was both amazed, and beyond happy to discover that his penis had actually returned! He was over the moon!

"It's smaller than I remember," He joked. "But seriously, thanks, kid. You've given an old man hope."

"You're not old," Cika sighed, irritated.

Afterwards, she looked at Jimmy, and said, "Thank you, sweetheart. Zik can be a bit of an ass, but he's a good man, and I'm happy you were able to help him."

Furthermore, she said, "I love hunting with him, but I was getting tired of his fingers. You're young, so you know what I mean?"

"Do I ever," Jimmy chuckled. "Okay, let's get you guys fed, then."

Before they could get on with their day, Eni, the Field Runner, laid on her back in front of Timothy, with her head close to his feet, and she demanded some attention.

Jokingly, she winked at him, and said, "My feet are sore, healer, can you fix them?"

Jimmy looked away embarrassed, and said, "You don't need healing, Eni. A foot massage will do."
