ANY OTHER TIME and ky would have f i n i s h e d the job right there. he would have just RIPPED the other apart for not just invading his personal space, but for begging ( him of all people! ) for help! who did they think they were anyways? asking for mercy help from the likes of them? they who stood so much HIGHER than everyone else?
the answers DIDN’T matter; no, he soon found himself kneeling down to WIPE the blood off peter’s mouth with his own hand. a simple ACT of kindness that he’d d e n y ten times over if ever asked. no, this was something best kept under WRAPS ( most importantly to himself ) no one could know that what he was planning.
with-out any real thought process he moved to grip peter by the back of the neck – not even bothering to care for the substance that had left the other. no, he wasn’t that interested in whatever had attached itself to peter. not at the moment at least. “come on,” he said, standing up fully, and practically dragging him out of the rain. “— you too.” though, mainly it was out of his own version of kindness to whatever attached itself to the boy. he may have been kind, but a true kindness was to make sure the substance went back where it belonged. on peter.
“let’s get you cleaned up.”
