 Jerico shrugged, "It's ok. I spoke poorly, I apologize. I'll do everything I can to protect you. How is that?" He lifted an eyebrow when Finis said he would try to protect him too. "I appreciate it, it will be nice having someone to watch my back." Everything was ready so all he needed to do was to wait for Finis to finish his bath and then he could start working on his wounds. ((I totally understand!))

*So good news! I was able to find a job! So i'll hopefully be a bit more active now* Finis stepped out of the bath with a fresh towel around his body, he started at Jerico in slight apprehension. He knew that the man wasn't going to hurt him but it was still anxiety inducing for someone who hadn't know a kind touch in five years. "I...uh I'm ready Jerico, you can clean my wounds now." He said quietly.

Jerico nodded and turned when Finis said he was ready. "Ok, I'm going to move slowly and explain to you what I am doing as I go. If I do anything that scares you or hurts you, tell me right away, ok?" He waited for Finis to agree before he got to work. He was extremely careful, being as gentle as possible as he treated the other's wounds. He told Finis was he was doing, speaking in a soft, gentle tone, so nothing startled the other as he worked. "This wounds-" he frowned a little as he examined some of them, "They were inflicted by other people. You wouldn't be able to get them by being clumsy or hurting yourself. But you said it's been years since there was anyone else here, so why haven't they healed yet?" He hummed softly and continued to treat them. "Unless your power caused them, but from what you have told me, your power protects you. I wonder why they haven't healed yet." He'd be careful to keep an eye on them, if Finis didn't show signs of healing soon, he would take the other to a healer so they could look at him. "There, done," he said as he went to wash his hands. "I hope that feels better. If you are ok with it, I would like to keep an eye on them over the next couple days. I just want to make sure everything is ok with them. Maybe once you start eating regularly, your body will be able to heal up." He hoped so at least. ((Yay! sorry, I've been a bit busy with my own work!))

"Alright, that sounds good." He said quietly, it was strange to have someone try and actively heal him and not hurt him for once. "I'm...not entirely sure if my body will even start regain the weight I lost, or what it even does with the food since I haven't eaten in so long. But I'm not puking it up so I guess that's a good sign." Finis said wryly. "My wounds...?." He suddenly flinched back away from Jerico as a particular violent memory resurfaced in his mind. He remember them hurting him beating him, they said it was his punishment, then one of the men put something on his skin. Finis didn't know what it was but it burned like hellfire, and the blood from his wounds didn't stop. " They made it so I wouldn't heal." He rasped, his body shaking. "Said it was my punishment, for being what I am."

Jerico sighed, "Of course they did. Those bastards." He sat down and leaned against the wall, thinking. "There has to be a way to reverse it, to make it so you can heal up. Obviously you haven't got an infection after all this time, but you can't be having open wounds like that. It's not safe for you." He rubbed the back of his head, thinking, "If it's too painful to remember, you don't have to tell me, but if you can, I'd like to know how the made it so your wounds won't heal. If I know that then maybe I can figure out a way to reverse it." If it were some ointment or something put onto Finis' skin then he could try talking to a healer, if it was some kind of spell he'd speak to a mage. Either way, he wasn't going to just leave the poor kid like that. "Alright, let's rest here for tonight and in the morning we will get going. We'll head to the next city and get you some proper clothing so you don't have to drown in my old things." He smiled a bit, thinking that Finis looked rather cute in his clothes, but he wouldn't dare say that out loud. "There are rooms on this level with cots, but I can make us a place to sleep by the fire if you don't feel safe in one of them." He wouldn't want to sleep in the same bed as his tormentors either. "I'm planning on sleeping here. Easier to defend that way." He started to make his own bedroll, but put out some blankets for Finis to use regardless of his choice.

"I'll stay by you then." Finis decided. Would anyone really come back though? It had been five years after all and aside from the drunkard Jerico talked to it seemed no one even knew the tower existed. At Jerico's remark about him not wanting his clothes, he tilted his head in mild confusion. "Ah? But Jerico I don't mind, the clothes are warm, and they have your scent on them so they're nice. You smell like power and safety, so I like wearing them." If Finis was more aware of his feelings he probably would feel extremely embarrassed about what he said. But telling this to Jerico seemed natural as the man proved himself to be actually trustworthy .

Jerico was secretly glad that Finis was going to sleep beside him, he would feel better knowing he was near. He started setting up a bedroll for the younger man when Finis made his comment about wearing Jerico's clothing. He couldn't help the blush that ran up the back of his neck. "You shouldn't say things like that," he said, turning away a bit, "it's embarrassing. Almost make a man think you were interested in him." He shook his head a little, he'd been alone for too long if he thought this kid was hitting on him. "Come, let's go to bed. I'm right here if you need anything." He took off his boots and settled down into his bedroll. sighing softly. Today had taken a turn he never would have been able to predict in a million years. He went from treasure hunting to taking in a kicked puppy. He glanced over at Finis, he wasn't going to complain, though.

Finis squinted in confusion at that statement "But I am interested in you, you've seen the outside world while I've been stuck here, so I am interested in your knowledge and your past. You are someone powerful that didn't think first to hurt or abuse me. So why wouldn't I be interested in you?" He blinked slightly at Jerico settling down, oh, right sleep. That's also something normal humans do. But he wasn't even sure if he had slept, or even if he could without nightmares. After a second Finis decided to follow suit and settled down on the bedroll, staring up at the ruined ceiling of the tower. There were stars out, how strange when was the last time he had seen any stars. It was nice though, to see something so beautiful on the night where he got his freedom.

Jerico shook his head a bit, "Not that kind of interested-" he sighed, "Never mind. I'd like to be your friend, Finis, so I guess I'm interested in you as well." It made him sad that Finis based his interest purely in the fact that Jerico hadn't hurt him yet. "Goodnight, Finis." He closed his eyes and fell into a light sleep, one that he would be able to snap out of in an instant if need be. He never slept very deeply anymore, but this was enough to get him the rest he needed. And he avoided any dreams. ((Sorry it's short, do you want to time skip to the morning?))
