[ Even if Baraqiel called Sholmes his idiot during trial. But shhh. He lets his hands slip from Sholmes' face and reaches to tenderly take it, watching to see if it hurts, trying to be gentle. ]
That's fair. I... wonder if it matters what side you talk to, too. Admittedly, I demanded his help before I could even think. I was so, so scared. [ Hey, someone else was traumatized a bit tonight. But he's too focused on Sholmes' trauma to worry about that part. ]
He said it'd be a favor, but you're right... that there could be a catch.
[It doesn't hurt! It's just closed up. A nice little stump. He watches as Kotetsu touches over it.]
...It's alright. I understand. [His tone is soothing - goodness knows, he might have done the same thing, now knowing about these offers one can make with the Watchers, for healing.] But as I said, I'll consider it. Don't you worry. After all...how could I play violin for you like this?

Ah... I would love to hear you play. I can almost imagine it... somewhere safe, far from here. Under an expansive sky of stars without any worries.
[ Not that he'd mind if Sholmes were to play violin for him here, but the scene sounds... like bliss. ]

[He kisses him back, softly...and for the first time in his conversation, there's a light smile on his face.]
Need to add that to your list of skills.

[ He gives him another gentle kiss, glad to see Sholmes feeling at least a little better. ]
And you're one of them.
no subject
[A light huff, another kiss. Soft. So very soft.]
Thank you. For everything.
no subject
[ More tender kisses. Just gentle and reassuring. Nothing more from them.
Should mention that at some point in the conversation, Finley has, in fact, turned back into a tiger. ]
