Bane finishes tying the restraints, keeping you from squirming anymore than you already had been doing, but it doesn't feel as satisfying as most times. Even now, through the gag, you're still crying softly, and he can't help but smooth down your messy hair with his big hand. You flinch.

"Do not cry," he murmurs under his breath, thumb gently brushing away a stray tear rolling down your cheek. "I will not hurt you. Not unless you cooperate."

You make him much more eager for the Knight's arrival.
