Personally, Joly doubts that very much. Who knows what could get into those gashes? Certainly, they've had SOME attention, but even so, they're looking not so great now. There's a fear of infection, certainly, and Joly's pursing his lips as he looks Venus over, considering this.
"I would feel better if I knew for certain. Mademoiselle Venus." He answers, giving a nod at the suggestion that they keep moving for now. Whatever else, he's aware that IS a good idea at any rate.
"But yes, as both of you say, this is most certainly not the place for any of this, is it? Best you lead on then, Courfeyrac. And we can take proper precautions and make introductions there."
And he can stave off the fear a little longer, has to stave it off because he's needed, and now, with Courfeyrac here, he'll have some familiar protection, it seems for now.
"Ah, learning curves." Joly is adding, shaking his head a little ruefully. "This does look to be harder than most."
