Who: Beecher and Keller
What: Covering an old scar, literally and metaphorically
When: Today
Warnings: Talk of Nazis, branding, and prison rape, inevitably. Then probably violence, and/or sex. Let's just go with 'high', and work from there.
Toby finally grew the balls the next morning, to get into the shower. Even though, logically, he knew there was no one to threaten him, he hadn't gotten up the nerve to be that exposed, alone, since he fell from the sky in the park.
The experience was decidedly short, definately not how he imagined his first shower out of Oz, but it was enough to get him clean. In the process of getting dry, he ran a hand over the scar on his ass; the brand Schillinger had given him, his first week in Oz. He thought he'd long ago settled with the mark, and the memories that accompany it. But ever since Schillinger had died, he found himself sickened every time he saw or felt the scarred skin, flashes of the long months as the man's 'prag' clouding his thoughts.
He wasn't here. He was dead, and gone, and it was time for Tobias to move on, and banish the man from his life once and for all. That was what prompted him asking Keller to go with him, today, to cover the mark. To hopefully give Keller domain over the parts of him Schillinger had been haunting. It wasn't exactly romantic, but it was what he had to offer; Chris wanted another chance, and the only way Toby would be ready for that, would be to try and put Oz, and all its bullshit, behind him.
Wrapping a towel around his waist, he wandered out into Chris' room, raiding his closet in search of something for him to wear.
