He presses his lips together when she goes for his nose, flinching more at the sudden pressure than because it hurts.

And then she's talking again, and he squints open, looking back down at the tattoos. His head's a mess, everything feels so raw and exposed and empty, but seeing the tattoos seem to ground him, keeping him focused on staying awake. It would be so easy to let the monsters take him again.]

Beautiful, fascinating, and absolutely terrifying. So he looks at her with a little confusion, glancing at her wrist as she presents it before looking back to the fingers tracing his skin.

He looks even more disoriented than he did before.]
