Roe felt her move into the room, at first there was a moment of panic, was she alright, was her tie to him pulling her after him? He heard her words and reached back to his shoulders, his fingers finding the now tacky black dried blood. Damn, he frowned and closed his eyes, tilting his head and touching the tile. He had forgotten that the wounds would bleed, that they always bled when they were released.<br/><br/>Roe moved the curtain as he bent down to warm the shower's water. He forced the blood to stay on his back, to not sluice off from his skin. He had the thought, somehow believed, that Tegan would want to be the one to clean his back. He sat down on the floor of the tub, leaving space before and behind him, knees up, shower falling atop him. He reached a hand out for her, wanting her to join him as he softly spoke.<br/><br/><em>I forgot about that... it.... it always happens whenever I unfurl....I. I have Wings Tegan, and when they are exposed they rip from my back and that causes the blood. It...it hurts...but I am ok Tegan, I promise.</em><br/><br/>He didn't meet her gaze as he spoke. She could hear a sadness in his voice, the want to tell her and a fear of something else. He shifted, there were no wounds and the blood was not fresh. The water alone did not seem to be enough to send the matted<br/><br/><em>Would you...could you clean it from me and... and I will show you in.. in a safe manner.</em>
