Hellbound With You (WN)

Iryz shook her head immediately. ”I ’ll eat later. Not feeling that hungry yet. ”

Another silence passed but Iryz still kept her face buried into her palms, not wanting to face him directly.

”Iryz… ” he spoke. ”I ’ve brought the special ointment with me. ”

”Ointment? ”

”Yes. The one I told you I ’ll get from Lilith. ”

Iryz slowly dropped her hands and looked up at him. There was a small smile on his face as he showed her a small jar in his hand. Was this the ointment that he had told her could remove the scars from her torture?

”Is this why you were gone when I woke up? ” Iryz asked him, not fully believing that he would go to such lengths and take up so much of his precious time to be running around getting things for her. But seeing that little tub of ointment sitting on his outstretched palm, she could only believe the unbelievable for her.

He nodded. ”I ’ve met up with Lilith ’s trusted subordinate a while ago. ” He opened the jar and Iryz could smell the aromatic scent wafting over to where she was. Its smell was soothing.

Silently, Zeres used his forefinger to scoop the gel like ointment and held it out to her. ”May I? ” he asked a little hesitantly and Irys nodded, allowing her eyes to slowly drift close.

Soon, she felt his fingers touching the wound on her face as he slowly and carefully applied the ointment to it. And despite the heavy thuds of her heart, Iryz was not willing to stop him and take the ointment from him so she could do the task herself.
