Demetri shook his head. "No don't be sorry. I'm just a bit self conscious of it, that's all. Some seem to think it makes me flawed," he said, smiling back at Nell. "But dangerous... well I rather like that. If you want to touch me Nell, I do not mind. I like being unexpected too." He grinnned and reached up, stroking back Nell's hair. "No not an officer, though that would have been interesting. Just someone who finds himself in the wrong place more often than not."
He grinned and leaned his head back, giving Nell more room, a small groan coming from the back of his throat. "I assure you, you're doing an excellent job of that." Demetri licked his lips. "Can I have you in my lap? My shoulder and side... it's still sore even now.... it keeps the weight off. If you don't mind. Besides, that way, I can look at you," he said happily.
