Blade hides bruises green as his eyes and purple like summer twilight under long-sleeved shirts he never wore before. They all notice, some immediately, some after painfully obvious hints from the others. Ignoring it is the easiest way and only his closest friends try to take him out for drinks more often, dropping subtle hints.
“Dating a dinosaur now, mate?” Ditzy says one day. He doesn’t do subtle.
The punch comes as no surprise.
Blade’s eyes connect with Helen’s and he almost envies her for the grudging silent treatment she gets from the staff. No one cares about her scars.
