Aoba couldn't help smile as he kissed his nose. It was so nice of him to care that much to have to thank him as he did. Though, his bout of happiness was quickly tossed aside, just as he was forcefully thrown on the ground. No, not even out the cell, but to the ground. The little angel gasped softly, not expecting the wind to be knocked out of him. For a moment, he laid there wondering what he did to deserve all of this. It wasn't fair. Not at all... It dawned on him that Kuro was being attacked and he scrambled up to see. "St-!" The sudden yell made him pause. The familiar voice was a lot more aggressive than he remembered. Aoba glanced back, seeing Fenrir in the cell door way. Next thing he knew, the guards and Fenrir were at it. Aoba crawled off to the side to get away from being in the middle of the argument. A silent sigh escapes his lips as the two guards are dismissed from their jobs. It was a small happiness that welled uo, despite his fatigue. The guard walked out and the doctor came in, only to kick Kuro on his side and make Aoba flinch, biting his tongue. When attention was turned to him, Aoba snapped up and nodded quickly. [I]'He's giving me authority. But it's not like I can just command guards to just leave... [/I] He decided to just accept the new gift and move over to Kuro's side once more. He glanced back at the guards walking away and Fenrir watching, but turned to Kuro. Somehow, his voice was a lot more soothing than any of the angels around lately. Aoba rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, ruffling his hair. "Oh, I'm fine. Just dirtied up my wings is all. It wasn't expected." There was no need to worry about him. If anything, Kuro should have been more focused on surviving. With a sigh, he began to undo the bandages to look at his back. The mere thought of having to try and heal them up again was exhausting. It made him sigh, and made his wings droop a little more. "Back to square one." He said before leaning over to try and heal easiest things first. But no matter how hard he tried, Aoba was at his limit. His healing magic did nothing more than give a soft warming touch to soothe the pain. With a defeated sigh, the angel gave a sad look. He pulled the burning materials out, staring at his wounds before noticing the charred edges of his work before. This made him stop and shake his head. "This will never work..." Without a second thought,  Aoba turned to face Fenrir, with wings to Kuro once more. "I'm sorry... But Fenrir he can't have another session. He's been beaten way too badly to survive any more of them. And not to mention the guards' and their work of making sure he stayed injured." Aoba hesitated as he continued. "Re-burning his wounds closed won't work. The edges are still charred from the previous injuries. And I can't heal him with my own magic anymore. I've come to my limit. There's only so much I can do." Aoba mumbled another apology before looking away from the still rather furious angel. Fenrir watched the softness of their interaction before they began. It was a rather sickening thought, but Aoba wasn't being hurt so it appeared that he was right. He leaned against the cell bar to watch Aoba work. The demon still seemed rather calm, even talking to Aoba. It was clear to him that he had some sort of fondness of Aoba. It was rather disgusting. And from his work, Aoba suddenly began to bawl out why the demon didn't need another session. Anger almost boiled over once more as Aoba protected the demon, but he then calmly sighed seeing the sincerity of his act. Without a word, Fenrir stepped forward with his own kit and shooed Aoba to the side. "Go rest up. I'll take it from here. " But even ad he said that, Aoba where Kuro could see him, though a little out of arm reach. He was now more curious to see how Fenrir worked, and he didn't feel like carrying the heavy basin at the moment. Seeing that he didn't comply,  Fenrir only focused on his work. "Don't try anything demon. I'm not here for your amusement." And with that, he began to work on healing Kuro's wounds. He was less gentle than Aoba that's for sure.
