[ 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. ]
[ Satan always takes a lot of time to make preparations for... well, literally anything, but for learning, too. Being as prepared as possible naturally makes things smoother. He is... not surprised Mammon made the comment, really. ]
We'll just put our best foot forward and do our best. We'll figure it out eventually.
[ Mammon's face melts into a warmer smile as he shifts closer. Despite how it might sting a little, he shifts and moves his arm around Satan's shoulders. ]

[ So there. To be fair, this is probably one of the most names he's ever come with. Remember Sir Cat? or Da Vinci, Michelangelo... ]

Is it something you'd like to practice together? Or is it something you prefer to do on your own?
