Mo Ran still isn't used to life in Shisheng village after more than a year.
It's a good place, better than--before. (He tries not to think about before too much.)
He knows that he's lucky. Taken in by the head of the village, apprenticed to the village's famous inventor. He would have been lucky even if his uncle and aunt didn't love him, even if his teacher wasn't selfless and kind, even if he didn't have such good friends in his two co-apprentices.
"You don't know that. I don't know that. I can't remember so much of my life before I came here...maybe we had some small interaction, when I was a child, that you forgot but I treasured forever. Until it was lost to me."
"If you were a child, I only would have frightened you." Bandage bandage. "Are there cuts on your arms? Let me see them."
He holds out his arms. "I wouldn't have been a small child; I retained almost all of that. My memories cut off when I was about twelve."
He gently parts fur with his fingers to get a better look at the injuries. "You remember where you grew up, then?"
"I could try to get a letter to your family, if you know their names. If you want them to know."
"It's alright." He is quiet for a few moments. "It was only ever me and my mother, and then there was a famine..."
"It's not unnecessary," he says, turning around (he has not put any clothes on). "Let me see." He grasps Chu Wanning's arm where a welt is raised on the skin.
Chu Wanning’s cock throbs. He hisses and slaps the Beast’s hand as hard as he can. “Unhand me!”
"Your injuries aren't unimportant just because they aren't as bad as mine." He starts cleaning the scratch firmly, ignoring Wanning's protest.
Chu Wanning throws a contained fit throughout this process, scowling fiercely and tugging his arm again and again.
The beast finishes cleaning the scratch, and finally lets go of his arm.
"Thank you. For taking care of my wounds. For caring about them."
He lets go after a moment.
"I meant it when I said I won't use force," he murmurs. "But I also meant it when I said I can smell when you want me."
