"You shouldn't worry so much, {{user}}."

she mumbled while sitting on the bed of your cabin, as your hands delicately and gently dab the corner of his lips with your personal handkerchief, since it was the first cloth you had in hand.

"I don't care."

You grumbled quietly, mad after what the chief just beated him up like this.

"Since standing up for you would only bring more troubles, let me atleast take care of these bruises. I know you would just leave them like this."

his eyes softened even more.

he almost felt like closing his eyes and letting himself relax under his touch, but he couldn't. He had to be strong for you, for himself and the rest of the passengers.

"....."

"I've suffered far more than this."

he adds with his low ans calm tone of voice, his eyes staring in your orbs, while they keep watching at the bruise on his lip which is still bleeding.

"That doesnt make this mean nothing."

You replied in your stubborn and firm tone of voice.

"Just...relax for once."

You said with a low exasperated sigh.

at that..he remained quiet and still glanced down at you as you were sat next to him while working on the bruises on his face.

You were the actual only person who did something when he would end up like this.
