A sigh of relief escaped Roy’s lips when he felt Ashley drinking, he himself was a bit tired but he didn’t mind giving a little to the man who needed it more than himself right now. Once he felt him stop, Roy looked at him, and could already tell he wasn’t feeling good mentally, as well as physically.
“I’m going to help you to the bathroom. You should have a bath…”
“He can do it on his own.” Destro said, his eyes mostly on Roy although he glanced at Ashley as well, noticing he was at least alive.
“I’m helping.” Roy said louder in defiance, glancing at the bathroom and standing up. Leaning down, he softly tried to lean Ashley against the edge of the bed so he could sit up slowly, knowing it was probably difficult to spring back to life after that so he took everything slow and steady.

After a few minutes, Roy wrapped his arm around Ashley’s waist and walked him to the bathroom, speaking softly the entire time.
“You had me worried…it’ll feel a lot nicer being in a warm bath, you can rest in there.” Roy said as he carefully got to the door, opened it and set Ashley down so he could set the water up and make it warm, ignoring any evil looks from Destro because Roy knew he wouldn’t harm him. It would be way too degrading to his family line to injure him whatsoever.

Once the water was ready, Roy grasped onto Ashley’s body, helping him into the tub and picking him up almost to get him inside. When he was, the human sighed and leaned over the bath, gently taking a rag and dabbing it against the areas where dried blood was. He felt like Ashley was a younger brother, someone who needed his help because he couldn’t defend himself properly. Knowing he had to head back soon, Roy rubbed the cloth against Ashley’s skin a little more and then spoke. “I’m going to talk to Destro a little bit…I’m sorry he did this to you, you don’t deserve it, no matter what he says no one deserves this.” Roy stopped and put the rag down, sighing and then smiling a bit. “You’ll make it, I promise. I can see the strength inside of you. Never let that go.” Glancing back at the door, Roy stood up and decided to have a little chat with Destro.
