[ Satan nods in acknowledgment, feeding the cat-bee one more sweet treat to occupy it before he stands up. ]
I'll be right back.
[ Through either sheer force of will or a miracle, Satan actually manages to leave Mammon's room and grab the first aid kit he'd cobbled together and had been keeping in their kitchen. He returns quickly enough, probably out of his desire to see the cat-bee again more than anything. ]
I've only just realized I've been neglecting my healing magic.... It doesn't work the same here as it does back home, so I can't really do anything about the pain you might be feeling. I'll see if I can pick it up again.
[ Satan settles besides Mammon and without really asking, grabs Mammon's arm and starts disinfecting the cuts there first. It'll probably sting, but at least this way it won't get infected. Demon or not, it's difficult to know how severe injuries are here when their powers and abilities are limited. ]
[ Mammon bites his lip, trying not to let out a scream because damn that disinfectant stung like hell! He took in a sharp breath, letting Satan clean his wounds with little to no fuss. There was no use trying to fight Satan when he got into one of his determination moods. ]
[ What a baby demon!! Once he's disinfected the scratches on Mammon's arm and anywhere else visible, he covers each one up with a cloth bandage to keep it dry and free of germs. There's not much he can do about the welts, so Mammon will just have to tough those out. ]
Yes, Beatrice. Our adorable cat-bee? Seriously, she's right there. How could you forget her already?
[ Nope. Still in a great mood. Satan seems to be done now, and he looks Mammon up and down to see if he's missed anything. ]
There. All done.
[ And he looks Mammon up and down one more time. He really does appreciate the presence of the cute cat-bee. It isn't lost on him what Mammon went through to lure Beatrice into their home. Or kidnap. Probably kidnap. Still, he's grateful for the end result and he plans on making Beatrice the happiest cat-bee!! ]
[ Ah. He's been out of his cat=bee-induced euphoria long enough to acknowledge what's going on. Although he clicks his tongue!!! at Mammon, he lets it slide. ]
[ Mammon lets out a huff, even pouting a little at Satan. But... well, he couldn't really be too huffy about it because Satan was nice enough to patch him up in the first place. ]
Thanks though... or whatever. I appreciate it ya know?
Mm. Well, it was the least I could do. I hope there's not a next time, but if there is I hope to be able to do something about your welts. It's... frustrating to have to relearn everything here, basically.
[ Why was he feeling so shy about it now? His cheeks were even turning a little pinker. Maybe cause its not as cool as some of the stuff Satan can already do but— ]
I guess I kinda found out recently that Im... kinda like a support class, ya know?
Hey, I know you probably disagree but practical beats cool any day. Maybe you don't get to be the hero front and center like you want, but a lot of times the tank, healer and DPS classes need a support class for that extra push.
[ He was mostly practicing on his own out of embarrassment, but it might be nice to have a partner in this. And Satan is actually pretty good with being practical when he's helping. ]
I-I mean sure. If you wanna, we can practice together. Maybe after we get everything all set up for beatrice.
Sure thing. I won't turn this into a daily or weekly class or anything like that--
[ Because he knows Mammon would get annoyed and start ditching. ]
--but maybe whenever we have free time we can practice every now and then. Even though it's fairly safe here, we should be prepared regardless. Plus, I think developing supportive abilities would be a huge boon to us.
That would probably make it easier and, if nothing else, would get me used to using this place's version of healing magic.
[ He nearly makes a comment about how happy Mammon must be that the two of them are finally (nearly) on the same level, but... he's still more or less in Euphorialand and decides against the comment since it sounds mean-spirited. Cat-bee. ]
Just remember that progress is progress, no matter how small.
[ Because things between them are pretty nice right now, and Satan doesn't want to ruin it with Mammon getting frustrated if his progress is small. He means it, too -- nobody learns things like this overnight. ]
