Um. It's not really killing pain. It's...I take it for myself.

....

I'D REBROKEN A RIB.

...I have a really high pain tolerance.

I'M NOT GOING TO LET ME BEING IMPRESSED GET IN THE WAY OF BEING IMPISSED.

That's fair. Sorry. I was wrong not to tell you, and I was especially wrong to use it without telling you. Or without asking, sometimes.

I should make you take the stress headache I'm gettin'.

Yeah. I aint keen on havin' hurt you. Especially without knowin' I did it.

[He rubs his face.] So.... Y'over did it in public, huh?

[ opens and closes mouth to offer to take the stress headache

then stops himself ]

Something like that. Not everyone noticed, but enough did that this isn't much of a secret anymore. I've promised a few people to start asking from now on.

[HE SEES THAT U LIL SHIT.

He's so worried he's almost forgetting to be ma- no just kidding he's still mad. He exhales.]

And the healin'? You get backlash there too?

[ holds up hands ]

No backlash there, promise. I get tired if I push it too hard, but I think that's true for anyone.

[He rubs his face, leaning against one of the conference room tables. His expression is even and calm but oh the TAIL TIP IS LASHING BACK AND FORTH SO MUCH.]

Aw right. C'mere.

[ THIS FEELS LIKE A TRAP but maybe it's just a hug

hesitantly goes there ]

[It's a hug.]

[THAT IS ALSO A TRAP, FOOL. ALREADY ONE HANDEDLY WRESTLING HIM UP OVER HIS SHOULDER.]

YOU COULDA ASKED AND MOST OF THE TIME I WOULDA SAID FINE KNOCK YERSELF OUT! [Not the rib but like.]

[ ACCEPTS HIS FATE TBH ]

I will from now on! Promise!

[CONGRATS YOU ARE NOW A SCARF]

I know. And you keep those. So I aint gonna go hard.

I just hate that you got hurt so bad yer shit got called.

...both our Families died. A little pain? Was nothing.

.... So y'wanted t'hurt.

[There's ... actually no judgement in there, just some odd understanding.]

I wanted to help.

[ is not exactly a refutation. cinth's pointed this out, too ]

Aint sayin' one aint the other.

[He lets go of Aster's legs so he can swing down.]

[ aaaand getting back to his feet ]

Sorry. I didn't think about how it was...probably worse for you, in some ways, getting there after.

It...

It helps that I knew, I guess. When Cinth called, I knew it weren't gonna be pretty.

[But it was worse than he could have ever expected.]

He feels really bad about that. You should talk to him later.

[He sees you diverting...]

Yeah... He was in an impossible spot. Fuck. Alla ya were.

[ no he's just making sure cade and cinth sort things out, wow

tho that surprises a bitter laugh out of him ]

Yeah, no kidding. Mostly the Families though. The rest of us were just kind of...I mean, they had to decide whether to trust us or not or whatever.
