[Unaware of what is about to come she watches with confusion evident on her face. The pain he is channeling gives her pause, truly not wanting to see him hurt but having difficulty stopping herself from watching. When the metal emerges from his knuckles her jaw drops slightly, her usual iron-clad grip on her emotions slipping.

Part of her wants to attempt to feel the metal appendages, however common sense reminds her they're possibly sharp and to give him space. Her nervousness fading as Companion remembers that this is Phoenix and trusts that he would not harm her, she carefully moved behind him to rest one hand on his shoulder.]

[Her expression still soft, she blinks at Phoenix.]

[Seeing the tears any internal struggle she had been dealing with fades as she carefully uses her hand to brush the moisture from his face. He always seemed so stoic, emotions roiling just underneath the surface, to see him actually cries pierces her to the soul.]
