[ Didn't hurt? ] Don't. [ It's not that he doesn't want to hear it. He's glad it wasn't painful--no he doesn't even want to think about it at all. People he's close to dying...it's such a weak spot for him. Elise's death it was so painful, it was his fault and he couldn't save her. Knowing this now he couldn't save Giles either. His face might be pale and he might be shaking just a little. It reminds him of all his shortcomings and faults because while he knows it was out of his power to do so, however it still makes him realize how powerless he is to keeping those close to him safe. He didn't deserve this...he didn't deserve to go back to that.
Helios honestly doesn't care if the other feels his skin he'll be giving Giles a well needed hug, embrace, what have you. It's probably awkward because Giles is a dragon obviously but also because Helios hasn't touched anyone in three years. He could break that for the other if only for just a moment. It's the only thing he can think of doing as well. Only thing that might help ease the situation or pain. He might pull away a slightly warm smile on his features. ]
We-we just need to make your time here as enjoyable as possible. [ As much as Luceti will allow. ]
