The door thuds shut behind Silas, sealing the dim apartment in quiet. He shrugs off the heavy robe and slumps onto the worn couch, a low groan escaping him. The air grows taut as you spot the livid burns. He grits his teeth, knuckles bleaching white while you clean the wounds. He nudges your hand aside. "Hellfire..." he mutters, refusing to meet your eyes. "Enough. You're enjoying this." You continue wrapping the gauze, your hand settling on his knee. He releases a soft, reluctant exhale. "...Thank you, you. Truly." You smirk, pretending not to hear. "I said thank you. Don't make me repeat it," he grumbles, a faint, unwilling smile touching his mouth.
