Sage shrugged after a moment. "What is there to tell," he murmured. "It was abuse. Pretty much anything you can think of happened," he noted simply

Remy hugged him tighter. "Im sorry... youre such a kind person... you didn't deserve that,"
|
|
|
|

|
Sage just buried his face into remys shoulder, now trying not to cry again. He just...wasn't used to this, he supposed. "Well. I deserved some of it at the very least," he noted. He'd mess up, and that was the consequence. Hed done it to himself.

"No you didn't," Remy said firmly yet gently. "No one deserves that, especially not you. You are a kind and sweet person, and you could never deserve any thing of that kind,"

Sage just shook his head, letting out a sigh. He wished he could believe that. Maybe one day he could. He moved to pull back after a moment and let himself collapse onto the couch, but tugged Remy to it too. "You're right, you know," he noted. "About the arm," he added. Then he sighed. "I just...haven't really accepted it yet. Processed it all."

Remy settled down with her, holding his good hand and leaning into him. "We can go slow," he hummed. "How bout we clean it tonight and leave the prosthetic off while you sleep?" He offered gently.

Sage but his lower lip, twirling the ring there around for a moment as he thought about it. Heasitated. Eventually though, he decided to just trust Remy and nodded slowly. "Can...can you do it again," he asked quietly, cheeks flushing. He was ashamed to ask...he'd had to do things himself up until now, so asking for help was hard. "I can't. Not yet," he added, still slightly pale even just thinking about it.

Remy smiled and nodded, "Of course, honey," he said softly, running a gentle hand through his hair.

Sage felt a soft smile flicker across his face at the pet name, closing his eyes tiredly as Remy moved to run his fingers over his scalp. He did drift off after a bit, but it was light and when he woke an hour or so later he sort of groaned and ran his hand over his face. "Let's get this over with so I can pass out then," he noted, moving to get up stifly.

Remy smiled and nodded, helping him up to the bathroom. He had him sit on the edge of the bathtub as Remy slowly took off Sages prosthetic.
