Summary
Martyn didn’t want to imagine it.
The thought that he might, in any small way, see Ren in some fashion similar to the people who’d left those scars made his stomach churn. He was grappling with it on the daily, and it had only been a little over a week since that night at the inn where he'd helped the dog hybrid wash his hair. Seen him unwind just barely, release so much of the tension he seemed to carry, and yet again, the witch thought there had to be something that he was missing here.
Ren was...gorgeous. He must have suffered so much before because of that simple fact. Martyn couldn't claim he understood it, yet he wished to fix it, but what sort of a hypocrite was he? After all, he was seeing Ren, and seeing Ren in such ways, knowing there was a contract floating somewhere in his inventory that meant he could do anything he wanted...it was all just too much to bear.
And Martyn couldn't relate...he'd never have wished too. Stars above or earth below had decided he would be made to see things from Ren's perspective, anyway.{In which Ren closes his eyes, Martyn sees the other side of the coin, and the forest hides dangers just within the shadow of the trees.}
