"Good," he says softly, relieved to hear that Cyril wasn't going to be blinded on that eye. "I'm sorry, though. I wish I could have been there. I could have protected you."

He shakes his head a bit, leaning in to press a kiss on the elf's forehead. "I bet it will be a badass scar, kadan. You'll look sexy as fuck." Just a little bit of humor; it might be a painful scar for what it stood for, but if he could make Cyril look at it his way for a moment, maybe it would help.

Even if just a little.
