[The calm expression when he finally sees his face eases him. Relaxing, he closes his eyes and lets those hands move him as needed. Drawing in deep breaths, he lets himself accept the healing, letting the soothing scent keep him calm and tranquil. It's not a state he's particularly used to but he's aware that it helps with matters like this.
For now there is no pain aside from any typical discomfort that he's already used to. Nothing he can't handle.
The scar on his neck ends up circling all the way back behind his neck too. A clear circle. Almost as if it's a collar he can never remove. He can't truly remember how he obtained it but he can venture a guess. And he isn't fond of what it means. Just another thing on the list of things he sometimes wishes he could forget for a time but knows it's best to remember instead.]
