"I need to heal you first, my dear" Lucius told her as he inspected the freshly cut crest that would soon scar over nicely with the magic he had acquired from her.
Wordlessly, Lucius touched her arm softly as he concentrated. The healing came to him with ease due to the amount of power he currently possessed and so he was able to heal the scarification exactly the way he had wanted. Once it was entirely healed over ran his fingertips over the perfectly shaped scars that made up his crest. She would no longer feel any pain. He cleaned her up, removing all the dried blood from her shoulder and arm gently.
