He apologizes in case it had been too close, inciting some amount of fear or wariness. He knows it wouldn’t be from Danta, but Flora had only just barely scratched the surface back at Frey’s Breath. The kiss to the corner of his mouth where blood lingers for a moment is appreciated, until he has a moment to burn it away, leaving sooty little smears behind against his skin, the scent of smoke sharp as the iron still. “I did. Very much so.” The butcher confirms, flashing Flora a sharp and still red stained smile, glittering in the reflection of the fire Danta has sparked to clean himself up as well.
It's as he finally is grounded that the butcher returns to the chaise with Flora, sinking down onto it beside her and reaching up to cup her cheek gently and appreciatively. “Thank you darling.” Whether it’s for the healing or the softer twist to her smile aimed at him, he doesn’t clarify. Instead, he leans back to peer over at Danta with the softness of his adoration. “I have certainly sobered up.” He murmurs across the way, tail flicking as if to say we should fix that.
As for the healing water, he notices a few moments after that Danta is collecting it, without a need for it any longer. “Oh, Danta darling, Flora healed my cheek.” He wouldn’t say no to drinking some regular water, but as for the healing water? He feels revitalized already. It would be a waste.
