purposefully touch a muse’s scar
A hand settled near his neck, just over his shoulder, hovering over a thin raised scar of a knife. He has the other man’s hand pinned to the wall before he even thinks the action through. Heart beating an even staccato, he slowly released Imago’s hand, muttering sorry under his breath. He had grown to trust Imago, slow and steady, but his body was still a live wire, his reactions still ingrained in him from spending so long on his own, enemy of the world.
Blowing out a sigh, he released the tension from his body, and cut the awkwardness that had developed by explaining, “Angry Dog of Hell. Knocked his gun from his hand so he gave me something to remember him by.” As an afterthought, he added, “Shot him in the forehead, so I don’t think that turned out too well for him.”
