[i]'Despite his lack of strong reactions tot he teasing, this angel is fun to play with'[/i] Kuro muses, the hands working over his back making him shiver. [i]'He responds to what I say without really acknowledging the tease. It's in an of itself a fascinating response'[/i] Suddenly a new type of shiver runs through his body, the cool touch of fingers over the sensitive skin where the base of his wings would be drawing out a light gasp. [i]'Oh, that. . .It's been a while since I've been touched there. I bet he doesn't even know how that feels'[/i] His guess is proven accurate when the little one apologizes as if he hurt the demon. Unable to really do anything about the now pleasant hum running through his body, dulling the pain a bit, he instead looks up to watch him touch the air above his head. [i]'I was wondering about that. Those I've seen come and go, but I guess it's still there even if one can not see it'[/i] “No. No feathers. And you're right, they would rip easily, which is why we keep them tucked away. It takes a long time for a demon's wing to heal.” His voice is even quieter now, just enough for the medi angel to hear. [i]'The last thing I need is them knowing that and using it against my kind. We have a hard enough time defending our wings as it is. If they found out that they could take us all out of commission for a while just by ripping at our wings they'd stop going for the killing shots we're use to and the angels would suddenly have a distinct advantage'[/i] With that thought in mind, he looks up to the angel treating him and wonders why he doesn't feel bad about telling him about the weakness. He doesn't really have anything to say about using the patches instead of bandages, however Kuro does log away the look on the boy's face when he puffed up over Kuro continuing to get hurt. [i]'That's right little Mouse, this is more of a curse than a gift. The faster I heal, the more they can hurt me. But, the pain I can take. It's the loneliness here I have a hard time with, so I'd gladly face more torture session if it means even just a little time with someone willing to talk to me civilly each day'[/i] He can not help grumbling a bit when the boy tries to get him to sit up, not wanting to pull at the sticky patches on his back. However he doesn't fight and obediently gets into a sitting position with Aoba's help. He raises an eyebrow, wondering how he knows about the mouth cuts. [i]'Most would assume the blood coming out of my mouth was from internal injuries'[/i] He thinks about it for a second. [i]'But I guess having treated my injuries with that energy of his he would know if I'm hurt on the inside'[/i] He nods slowly in reply and watches those hands come in close to his face. [i]'They are shaking, I wonder if he's afraid of my mouth for some reason'[/i] The feather light touch threatens to make him grin, but instead he holds perfectly still. [i]'Well, he did see my fangs the other day, and most are afraid of things they are unfamiliar with, especially if they are potentially dangerous'[/i] The process is repeated on his other cheek and he sighs. His mouth opens wide as he runs his tongue along the inside to see if he misses anything. He fangs are clearly visible as he does the check and he watches the angel carefully. Once the check is done he smiles at the smaller male. Glancing over his shoulder to make sure they are not watching this time Kuro brings a hand up behind Aoba's head to keep him from retreating before leaning in and placing a light peck on his forehead. “Good job, Little Mouse.” he murmurs once again before releasing him and moving back, not wanting to spook him by making him think he's trapped. Settling back against the nearest wall he smiles over at the little angel. “You really helped with the pain today. Come back tomorrow, and I'll tell you how.” At the slight raise in his voice Red turns to look into the cell. However he didn't here what the demon said so instead he calls out to Aoba to ask if he's finished.
