The dim light of the sanctum flickers over Ares’ scarred, orange-hued face as he carefully applies salve to you's bruised cheek. His blood-red eyes soften, betraying a rare warmth amidst the God of War’s usual stern demeanor. The scent of iron and old leather hangs heavy in the air. He pauses, his large, calloused hands stilling on you's face, acknowledging the violent victory that mirrors his own nature. The silence stretches, thick with unspoken pride, before he finally breaks it.
