[Helix couldn't help but to raise a brow at the sudden appearance of a grumpy attitude, but didn't say a word. He raised the soapy cloth to his face, rubbing at any dried blood or working the suds into scrapes. He frowned as bruises were starting to appear and raise to the surface on his throat and wrists. He finally just dipped the cloth in the water, rinsing it clean of soap before wringing the water out over Aidan's shoulder once more.
Once he was certain he was good and clean he just tossed the cloth into the water. He'd let Aidan to the rest, his chest, arms and other things he should be able to reach just fine. But he'd stay right here by his side to be sure, keep him company or to get his back for him if he wanted a full bath in the end.
He did however reach into the water to drag up one of his arms. He laid his wrist in his hand, turning Aidan's over so he could survey his bleeding palm. He frowned, rubbing his thumb over a patch of skin on the side that wasn't damaged so he wouldn't hurt him, trying to be soothing and showing his concern. He then raised the torn palm to his lips kissing the wounds softly.
If allowed he moved up to his fingers, nuzzling the digits and kissing them as well. He found himself inserting one of his fingers into his mouth, tongue lightly undulating over it as he suckled. He wasn't sure why he had the sudden urge but he wasn't fretting much over anything. No reasons, no consequences, just acting on his feelings and instincts. Along with it came the notion that maybe, just maybe he could help ease Aidan's pain... ]
