"Woah, woah, easy! Steady him first, you moron," Marcus snapped at the guard that had loosen the chains. And, like that, Marcus was on the floor besides his personal doctor, helping to pull him up a little so he could look at the burn. What did his last doctor say to do with these things? Clean, bandage and then let it heal. Well, he could do that. "Go get water and bandages. And don't take too long, you're already underwhelming me today."

The servant scampered off as fast as he could while Marcus gently pulled the Doctor upright, careful not to touch the wound. "It had to be done, I didn't have an option. You're mine and I can't have you leaving me. I need you," Marcus confessed, eyes closed as he bumped his forehead against the Doctors. "They're so quiet when you're here."
