Simon hissed when his arm was scratched and he held the wound that Naoki left on him, looking down as he pulled his fingers away and saw his own blood. He was used to seeing it. He'd been stabbed numerous times and beat up by guards more. He curled his fingers after he was done looking at it and he turned his head toward the room with the open ceiling where he saw Naoki run off to, then slowly rose from the bed while running his fingers over his wound and healing it before licking his fingers of his own blood that was almost black. Simon got dressed and walked to the entryway of the room where Naoki was and stared at the neko for a few moments, feeling more like an ass the longer he heard the sniffles from the cat boy. Anyone else, he would've continued teasing him and taunting him. That's normally how he drove people away from him, but this damn kid was making him soft inside and he couldn't stand seeing him miserable.

He walked over to the blonde with a wet cloth forming in his hand and he slowly knelt down in front of the neko. "Give me your hand."

As soon as he heard the steps he cringed. Now.. something bad would be done to him. Right? He would run like always.. but he didn't have where. Naked.. and not knowing anything about forest.. And besides there was no escape from Simon.
"Don't hurt m-me", he gasped out through the sobs. "I w-won't.. again.. I-I'm sorry.."

Simon deeply sighed at the response and ran his still ungloved hand through Naoki's hair. "No...I'm...I'm sorry..." he almost mumbled.

Naoki jumped when his hair were touched.. but then he heard the mage saying he was sorry. It took few longer moments for him to realise what was said but then he calmed down a bit and glanced at Simon. Rubbing one of his red from crying eyes and sniffling he observed him, while his ears were put flat on his head. Naoki didn't know what to think, his mind in chaos.

Simon gently took the hand that was bloody and he gently cleaned his fingers with the cloth before looking at him and he grinned at him a little. "You want to punch me? You can do so if you'd like."

Naoki looked at his bloodied hand and then at Simon's arm.. but there didn't seem to be any traces left. Sniffling he reached to the place there should be marks.. and didn't find anything. Asked if he wanted to punch the mage he shook his head.
"But as a punishment you can give me good meal and something sweet to eat?", he said, wiping off the rest of his tears.

Simon smiled and gently pet the neko's hair. "Alright, Naoki...I'll give you something sweet to eat." he said softly as he lightly ran his long nails along the neko's cheek to under his chin.

It felt nice to Naoki to be petted but when he felt long nails under his chin he purred softly. Once again it surprised him but then he smiled a bit. He was happy Simon was back to being nice to him and he even would give him some sweets. Naoki really didn't need much to be happy.

Simon gently scratched under his chin. "I'm sorry for treating you so harshly...you didn't deserve that." he said softly.

"I'm.. kind of used to it.. not in sexual way though. And hearing you asking what was my name.. just it somehow.. I d-don't know..", he muttered, looking and his knees and shrugging.
