Cedrick rubbed at his eyes briefly, closing them quietly.

Phoenix Mon 6 Oct - 19:25

"You okay?"

**Fruit-Pastilles** Mon 6 Oct - 19:41

"I'm just getting a little tired again," Cedrick admitted quietly.

Phoenix Mon 6 Oct - 19:44

"Of course you are, you're not well."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Tue 7 Oct - 19:11

"Dulcet had a witch that would heal me between sessions. She also had a dampener put on my natural healing abilities," Cedrick yawned softly. "So, when I get better normally, I'll have to shift to break the dampener. I'll do it away from you, if it's okay to shift in the first place."

Phoenix Tue 7 Oct - 20:34

"I can't forbid you shifting."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Tue 7 Oct - 20:39

"You can." Cedrick took in a shuddering breath, shaking as he tried not to cough.

Phoenix Tue 7 Oct - 20:51

"I'm not your alpha, you don't have to listen to me."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Tue 7 Oct - 20:54

"You're the most dominant figure in my life. I just automatically gravitate towards you."

Phoenix Tue 7 Oct - 21:02

"Why am I that person?"

**Fruit-Pastilles** Tue 7 Oct - 21:10

"Because you care. The wolf picks up what you're projecting and feels comforted by it. I don't question his judgement. If Dulcet is the fire, you are the balm the soothes the burn."

Phoenix Tue 7 Oct - 21:20

"How poetic."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Tue 7 Oct - 21:25

"It was the only analogy I could think of from the top of my head." Cedrick moved a hand to impulsively scratch his side, one of the split wounds becoming itchy.

Phoenix Tue 7 Oct - 21:29

"Right, I have a needle and thread but can't find anything to numb it."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Tue 7 Oct - 21:32

"I can deal with that. Just go ahead." Cedrick wiped his hand clean on the bed without a second thought, closing his eyes to breathe through his nose. "It won't hurt more than what it is now."

Phoenix Mon 13 Oct - 18:06

"Are you sure?"

**Fruit-Pastilles** Mon 13 Oct - 18:13

"Perfectly sure, though I if you need my shirt off, I can't do it by myself."

Phoenix Mon 13 Oct - 18:25

"It'd be easier for me to just cut it."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Mon 13 Oct - 18:31

"Then go ahead. I don't feel any attachment to clothes anyway, they're either wearable or not, and if it's in the way, then do what you must."

Phoenix Mon 13 Oct - 18:37

Ria nodded and used scissors to gently cut away his shirt.

**Fruit-Pastilles** Mon 13 Oct - 18:48

Cedrick barely even twitched, closing his eyes and breathing evenly, though his nostrils flared whenever the scissors came particularly close to any wounds or sore parts.

Phoenix Mon 13 Oct - 18:55

"You're not comfortable with me doing this are you?"

**Fruit-Pastilles** Mon 13 Oct - 19:12

"I have had many sharp things stuck into me during my life, scissors being one such thing. I'm not comfortable, but I'm not uncomfortable either. My body is just anticipating another injury in a situation like this, that's all."

Phoenix Mon 13 Oct - 19:19

"Trust me. I won't harm you."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Mon 13 Oct - 19:30

"The mind knows, the body forgets. That's all it is."
