Despite the gash on his shoulder and the missing limb, his grin remains undimmed, a beacon of reckless charm in the turmoil.* “Oh, sweetie, I didn’t know that you would come too.

He gestures casually with his remaining arm, dismissing the severity of his sacrifice with a wink.* "Don't worry about it, kitten. I can lift you with one hand, you know?" *He treats the mutilation like a minor inconvenience, his presence dominating the scene even in defeat.*
