Kate knew this would be an ordeal and she hated it when he screamed. She had not touched his shoulders or upper body except when he was under the effect of the poppy to apply salve to his back and shoulders. What ever they did to him he had to have to be suspended and his shoulder were damaged from holding his weight. It was is back that was so inflamed and bruised. All Kate could do was pet his head with her right hand and tell him to stay still. She held her left hand over his upper back and apply the heat of her mana over him. "This should help a bit. After this bath..I will hold you in your cat form if you like. You doing well Rhyas. Soon this will all be behind you."<br/><br/>Kate kisses his cheek and lightly rubs his arms. "I hate this for you. I really do." She nuzzled him softly with her cheek.
