Huffing Syx tried to wave her off, “It’s fine really.”
Actually, it was embarrassing as the bruises were revealed. As his tight suit was peeled back, dark bruises covered his arms and sides courtesy of a hard staff. Those weren’t the ones he didn’t want to show, though.
Syx took the pills but shrugged, “These don’t really work well on me.”
Pressing the ice to the worst of the swelling, he leaned his head on her, “I’ll be fine. I promise. They’ll heal before you know it,” he was covered in scars, she had to understand that wounds happened. She’d been covered in battle scars once too… but no more. They had disappeared with the ears. Something that was Emma and not Anna. A part of him hoped she was still his warrior woman.
Anna was honestly relieved when he accepted at least the ice pack, breathing out a soft noise before a gentle smile. While almost all of the scars had left her body from the curse, she had maybe one or two that she had genuinely earned herself.. both from learning how to cook. They certainly didn’t hold a fascinating story, by any means.. but they were hers and she was almost stupidly proud of them. Beneath the calm exterior she had gained, that warrior woman was certainly there..
It just hadn’t had a chance to reveal itself yet.
“Maybe a bath would help?” She suggested, though she wasn’t sure on that. Though perhaps if he had a bath she could join? The thought made her smile just a touch
“Bath yes,” Syx smiled softly, “Water always makes me feel better,” he figured it had to do with his semiaquatic nature.
Pulling her hand to bring her with him, he hesitated, dropping his forehead to her shoulder. Not wanting to meet her eyes as he admitted, “We’ll uhh… have to keep things above my waist, though. I don’t thing I could… or would want… not right now.”
