Simon takes his journal and pen and begins to write out his interpretation of how the injury had occurred. As he begins to revise and rewrite the scene in a way that minimizes the damage of the injury a dark, viscous ink begins to drip from his journal, slowly forming into the words of his revised retelling. The inked words slowly make their way and wrap around the injury before completely obscuring it from view. When Simon is satisfied with his work he closes his journal and all the ink evaporates - revealing the damage had been healed.
If the person he is trying to heal is conscious, there would be an open discussion between the two detailing things like the scenery, any apparent emotions they may have had, what exactly cause the injury, etc. The ink itself is somewhat cold and numbing to the touch causing whatever damage currently being healed to slowly lose feeling. The inked words themselves look exactly like his own penned scrawl and move slowly requiring him and his target to stay close with minimal movement.
