A freely given paw that Lucas will allow to be looked over. Bloodstained and delicate, but nestled in Scien's hand without protest beyond the ingrained violence that gets riled so terribly whenever Scien manages to slide through the cracks of him to grab hold of the truest parts. His hand is warm; the swipe across his knuckles is warm.
He's right here, thinking and feeling a bit more clearly once again. Those ugly feelings don't dissipate, but they wobble and wobble and start to fall into something more manageable, instead of such a terrible, devouring creature. He looks down at his hand where it rests, and something aching rises up from the mud of his heart when he hears I've found you, and I'll always find you. It's frightening. Scien Brofiise is a frightening person.]
...I do. [Honest; obvious.] Not "fine", but "better". [And he wants to say thank you for it, but the words stick, so Scien will have to make do with the soft sort of feeling that drifts up past the ache and the quieting fury. Also honestly:]
