He watched the younger Sith clean the instruments with which he wreaked such havoc upon his own body through lidded eyes. He wanted to be angry, wanted to hate him. Maybe later. Emryc didn't look at him as he replied, not with an answer but with a question. He was beginning to think that this was typical of the man.
"Should it?" He asked. He hauled himself up from his sitting position, regaining his feet wearily. He approached the Sith's back once more. The wounds looked deep, perhaps deeper than last time. He wondered again just what the Sith had purged from himself this time. Perhaps he should just ask.
"What weakness do you seek to destroy today." Not really a question, because he expected no answer. Scars old an new marred the man's flesh, and those in turn were layered with a fresh coat of suffering. He reached out, laid a single finger on one of the old scars. "What sin caused this?" He murmured, the finger grazed the scar ever so lightly, perhaps light enough that the deadened nerves wouldn't feel it. "Or this?" His touch bolder, as he brushed one of the fresh scars from the current batch, the feeling of the fresh wound different from that of the old.
He wondered if he was too bold in his questioning. But he was too tired to care.
