(hei knows better. that's not what surprise looks like, that was pure, unadulterated dread.
but he doesn't ask after it, because it's none of his business.
instead, he takes a knee before cain joins him in the corner, both of them sheltered from some of the neon light shed onto the side of a locked rooftop entrance at their backs. it stands higher than the building's edge, deflecting the wind that threatens to whip his shirt from his body of its own accord — either way, it's not his choice to do it.)
Now, huh. (unimpressed, but there's nothing for it.) Got another?
(tiredly reaching for the hem, the bloodied thing is shucked from his body and leaves pink impressions of where gore used to be. swathed across tan skin littered in scars both shallow, like cutting wire, and deep, as though entire chunks of flesh and muscle fibre were gouged from his shoulders. white pools at their feet after hei's through wiping his chest of whatever soaked through.
it's doubtful he'll see another set of clothes for some time, but, well, at least the breeze is warm.)
Why are you helping me? You're aware of the drugging, so were you in the same position?
