#2021?

caecis doesn't know about the fact that nite can just heal them up and that by not he's creating vulnerabilities. like yeah, at first the marks seem to disappear almost as quickly as they appear. but then over time they tend to stay longer. so eventually he honestly doesn't think much about them other than he really likes how they look but he does always offer to heal them himself if nite doesn't want them to be noticeable (caecis gets carried away and doesn't think to keep them conspicuous). nite always declines though. but usually once he gets around others, he'll heal them instantly.

so anyways, it's just one of the many little ways that nite's feelings become more obvious? nite doesn't trust easily or really at all. so to quite literally present what is basically his achilles heel(s?) to caecis... and for caecis, even though he doesn't know, to never take advantage of that even if a part of nite expects it... man.
