& words were spoken with the roll of a teasing tongue , azure gaze not once averting from the newly threaded tight wound now closed upon the keg’s bicep . how on earth he had managed to accomplish such a gruesome feat hayes was at a loss , and in truth the spontaneity of the injury had caused the unsolicited rattle of worry to shake through him . understandable it was the grey wolf’s fondness for the dangerous mechanical marvels ( hell , hayes was partial to them as well ) , and so it was difficult for arguments to be made besides the man’s blatantlack of regard for his own personal health .
————— ‘ no’ too tight , tha’ , is i’ ? ‘
thumb pressed a feather light pressure beneath where the skin inflamed with the oncoming infection , gauging the way blood returned to recolour the flesh from pale . gaze then rose to meet djura’s for a brief moment , before eyebrows raised to accompany the sigh ( exasperated , and rightfully so ! ) passing through parted teeth . it was almost hurtful the way the old keg simply . . . did not care about his own safety , especially when hayes tried his damnedest to express his adoration for the man . & without so much as a thought about it , he leaned forward , pressing a fleeting kiss to the tip of djura’s nose .

his stake driver had been subjected to a few adjustments, the blade lengthened & hollowed at its base to carry more powder in an attempt to increase its range. but the springs were lose -- & the keg wasn't STUPID !! if he were to test the thing horizontally, he was in no mood to brave ladders then beasts for the sake of retrieving his craftsmanship, & so he cleverly aimed for the clouds.
" no, no, that's good -- "
he slurred in soft voice, body stiffening & still as the gauze pulled taught about his flesh, halting the flood of blood at its source. as delicate hands released their altruistic grasp & fleeting touch of the lips tickled him, he bashfully turned his wrinkled head into his shoulder and sunk into his chair.
" come, now. you know i'm always careful. "
words so blatantly untrue carried reassurance from wizened mouth, & he attempted to hush the subject with the idle wave of his palm.
