all you have is your fire, and the place you need to reach
Biting hard at the inside of his cheek as if to force himself not to react when the shadows continue to fall away, Danta glances between them to the ruin of the butcher's body and instead lets out a shaky sigh that tries to huff into laughter. I wanted to see you. "Asta..." His name leaves the Maverick's lips like a scolding, but there's too much affection and worry in it, his thumb brushing carefully across the other man's bruised cheekbone.
"I can see that," he says of the shirt - and whether it's the fact that Asta is still able to sit and hold a conversation with him (and kudos to his stubborn streak for that) or that Danta hasn't been involved at all in whatever the fuck happened, the Maverick is able to start to calm down enough to act.
"Someone will be here soon," he says, letting his hands drop carefully down to the butcher's collar, fire starting to eat away at the fabric almost immediately. It hisses and spits where it has to fight through layers of grime blood and sodden threadwork, and as the tatters of it begin to fall away, Danta is able to finally reach for Asta's hand - the bad one, the one cradled in his lap.
"How bad is it?" He whispers. Code for should I stop touching it? and also do you want to be high right now instead of in pain?
