Lay It All To Waste, Wash It All Away

"I know, Ignis." He breathed heavily, almost as if he were holding back the beginnings of the need to sob. But no matter what, the tears wouldn't come. He leaned into her touch when she placed a paw on his shoulder, a pitiful whine slipping past his lips. How pathetic he must look now. How...vulnerable and stupid he must look. And yet, it was only in front of her. Nobody would ever get to see him like this. Not if he could help it. Not for as long as he had control over it. What had he done in life to deserve the brutal mind beating of the demon that coursed through his father's blood? He had tried so, so hard to stay away from it. To fight it off for as long as he possibly could. But maybe he hadn't been strong enough. Maybe he was weaker than his uncle. Maybe it was Acere that had been the strong one. But his demon tried over and over to convince him otherwise.

He would wince here and there as she touched his mangled ear. Sucking in a breath as he blinked through blurred vision to try and find the source of the discomfort. He tried not to move while she worked, but sometimes it was hard not to sloppily jerk his head back or sway as he lay in the water. He could vaguely hear the drip of blood as it flowed fresh from the wounds being cleaned. Tainting it. Just as the demon had tainted him. She said she couldn't save his ear. That his hearing wouldn't be impaired. But honestly, he briefly wondered if losing his hearing on that side would somehow mute the Demon...but alas...he could dream right? "Do what you must..." He whispered, lowering his head down again to give her easier access.
