Well he'd never dealt with this before. The blood loving male's justification for helping was pretty disturbing. He'd caught the other in his arms, dragging him a step back so that they weren't in a direct pool of his blood. This guy was a total idiot, to say the very least. He'd never met anyone to react in such an extreme way. It was just three cuts and a confrontation. How pathetic.
He lowered, crouching down despite the other's growls. In this adjustment, Aaron's head would be resting on his chest as Strages tightly clutched the two places on his arms which were cut as if to block the flow of blood from escaping. The nearly fainted male could probably hear his calm, steady heartbeat. Decent job of resisting, he was managing, which he wouldn't be able to do if this person wasn't so at risk.
This was...unusual, even for him.
