I tried telling him that. [She pipes up helpfully.]

I don't - want. [ Royce starts, and then he drags in a deep breath. ] She's right. You're not telling me anything she already hasn't, Solomons.

He doesn't want me to touch him.
bywolves: (slight worry.)

[ He knows it's irrational. She just touched him, she just hugged him and he allowed it, but that wasn't painful. That was different than setting a bone. Royce sinks down further into his blanket and looks away. ]

You don't know what you're doing. [ It's weak reasoning, though, and he knows it. It's in his tone. ]

Duster, please.

[Look at her! Even her expression is pleading.]

[ Ahh, that's his mistake. Between Alfie's tone and words and Tifa's expression, Royce can't really find much reason to let this continue. He takes another deep breath and then pulls himself to sit up straight with a grimace.

Quietly, he offers out his hand to Tifa. It looks terrible - red and twisted and painful, and he tries not to move it much when he shifts. It hurts as bad as it looks. ]
