133 Kiss

"Let me," June asked softly, "the least I can do is to tend to his wounds." 

Without his consent, she couldn't strip him of the legendary items. But she was the only person he trusted, and Warden was a mess. 

While not entirely her fault, June took it as a personal failure that she was unable to see through a mental manipulation in her hindsight to punish Warden. He let her take care of him. 

Warden watched slowly as June tended his wounds. She seemed naturally deft in it, even though healing wasn't her calling. With a steady and soft hand, she rubbed a dark green sap into his back after feeding him a potion. 

The dark power he devoured still raged inside his body. His core seemingly takes care of it on its own, but Warden would need further work on making the malevolent power his own.
