[It's hard to look at, the work that Rohan is doing with terrible efficiency. He ends up deciding to look at Rohan himself instead — the tail that's replaced his legs, the white and black pattern of scales, the eyes and the fucky teeth and the deadly fangs. He hadn't been able to carry his kill upstairs. He'd barely been able to slither his way up the stairs on his own.
He himself has been principled, as much as he can. He's had the luxury of being principled, with his changes coming in as awful and slow as they have. Rohan just got dumped into the middle of a tempest and told to swim or die.
(He can sympathize with that. Oh, can he ever.)
Absently, he looks at his palm and remembers how Rohan had burned himself previously — evidently from the heat his body is giving off — and makes a concerted effort to moderate that down to a dull even warmth before reaching to rest his hand against the scales of Rohan's tail. It's hard to explain what he thinks he's achieving with that. It's an attempt at kindness, certainly — he's cold all the time, so surely an offering of warmth is something of an comfort he can extend.]
Your Stand. The one you had before you came here. Did it say something about you?
