It’s a wonder, John thinks. To have gotten so used to having a werewolf around that the nudity doesn’t phase him as it once would have. Not to mention the whole, you know, shifting back and forth between forms. John likes to think he’s pretty unshakeable these days. And if you do manage to surprise him, it’s not necessarily a good thing – he tends to lash out violently.

Newts words are heeded with a sigh, shirt lifted to show the wounds from his latest run in with trikru. They aren’t overly fond of him, and he’s a popular scapegoat for their anger and tension on others. He learned long ago that if he didn’t fight, it didn’t last as long.

“It’s not that bad. Don’t get riled up.”

Bloodied hand would find itself in familiar ginger curls, fingers drifting through them in a move meant to comfort Newt more than himself. Though it does accomplish both.

Newt huffs, the sound one of ill-amused disbelief. There are days he’s not entirely sure how he got here, sharing a home with a man as seemingly unfortunate as John Murphy. But, then, he can’t say fortune falls on him anymore kindly– But where as he tries to lack worry (and thereby worries more than ever), John lives under a belief that survival is best and that pain could be dealt with so long as he did.

“Bad to you is being on death’s door,” Newt remarks quietly,” and I’m one who’s been told too often that my thoughts on something playing were actually a brush with death.” Meaning, if he thought somethign was bad it was.  His throat vibrates at John’s touch, lulled into the idea he was– if nothing else–safe now.

His eyes turned to the other man’s newest scars with a frown all the same. Hazel eyes flashing unreadably as he bent down to press lips above the cut– A tender motion before he sighed and moved slowly to stand. Shifting his weight to hum before adding, “Allow me to get dressed and I’ll get my kit to clean it up properly. Then I’ll feel better.”
