Henry Tudor
you broke me first
As the alley began to brighten and the injured attackers began to retreat to lick their wounds, Henry was slowly turning to see how their original victim fared. It wasn't until he looked at the man fully that he saw just who he was protecting. Sterling. No doubt seeing him in this form was traumatic. No doubt the man was suffering from PTSD. The thought that he could have made matters worse made his heart sink instantly in his chest.
But it was the tears that got to him. Henry blinked quietly as he watched the tears begin to fall, cascading over the man's cheek. It made Henry want to run to him and kiss them away, to draw him in his arms and make him forget. But Henry couldn't do that anymore. After all, they weren't together.
Henry tried to purr, that soft and docile sound reverberating in the back of his throat. It was far different than the ominous growl just moments before. But he knew that even the purr would not settle his ex.
Henry wanted to change back, to get out of this form, but his clothes were destroyed. He hadn't the time to take each layer off individually and fold them for later use. He had time to act and in doing so, he had successfully destroyed his favorite pair of jeans and t-shirt.
But the longer Sterling seemed to cry, the less Henry cared about his nakedness. So in the end, he allowed his cat to disappear, leaving him crouched on the ground, naked as the day he was born. "It's alright...I won't hurt you." Henry looked over his body, the bruising already starting. He was covered with cuts from a lone pocket knife and parts of his skin was burned. Using his healing magic, he melted away the injuries, leaving his body pristine, minus the blood the at needed washing off. "Are you hurt?" He waited for an answer before he moved closer to the other. "Come on, let's get you home..." He wasn't sure what he was going to do about his clothes. Maybe Sterling had a pair of shorts he would be willing to spare or just maybe Henry had a pair of jeans left over from when he used to live there.
