At first he wants to feign innocence, wants to act like he has no idea what the other is on about, wants to change the subject and talk instead about how it’s such a bright day. He wants to speak about home, wants to share the stories he’s gathered but instead he’s biting his lower lip and shrugging at the other. “I got jumped” he wasn’t lying at all, he had but it was done intentionally. He had purposely made his way there in the hopes he would get targeted. He can’t say it doesn’t hurt, his jaw is achy and his lips are scarred. His knuckles are dark crimson. his face cut up in places it shouldn’t be and yet he feels more at peace now than he did before he had those bruises. He just thanked the other’s he wasn’t dragged to a high building and then dropped from the rooftop. Explaining how he survived such a fall would have been hard.
“Why?” Suriel questioned. Without much thought he brought his cold hand up to the male’s cheek, his digits brushed against the wounds. Had he been human, his touch would only make it hurt worse but this should be soothing. Sadly, it won’t make the wounds heal faster. The other had to wait the pain out, probably even contact a hospital – after all the few of these wounds were quite nasty. “And what are you doing here? You should get yourself checked.” A slight frown indicated he was worried. Even more so, seeing the other made it out to be nothing but a few scratches. He couldn’t just let the other wander around the streets like that in hopes he gets better. “Come on, we should at least disinfect it, if you don’t want to see the doctor.”
