Shoto  was bored. All he could do was lay on the bed and think.

Sometime the demon would come in and entertain him but there was still no much time alone with nothing to do but think.

And thinking is a scary thing to do all the time. He had briefly wondered if it was possible to escape in his condition but ultimately decided that it wasn't. He didn't know the extent of the demon lords power nor how many other demons were in the area.

The demon had told him that it would be five weeks before the pain will be minimal enough to move around and do things. Shoto had been here for two weeks now and he doubts that will be the case.

Not because he thinks the science is wrong or he was lying but simply because he can't imagine living without pain any more

"Your just being dramatic." The demon was re wrapping his torso and Shoto had something to say about every second of it

"It horrible! Your hands are cold and sitting up is making me want to cry."  He know he was being dramatic. Did he care? No. His head hurt like bitch and every time the demons hands torched him he would shiver triggering pain in his ribs

He was tired.

He couldn't bring himself to relax while there were so many demons around but he needed as much energy as possible for recovery.

He knew he couldn't continue the way he was but he didn't know what else he could do. The idea of asking Vox for help crossed him mind but that was rejected and burned faster then it came

He can't let a demon of all things in. No. He rather wither away then ask Kim for help.

And so Shoto went on like that for another two day.
Then The demon noticed.

"You really need to to relax, your only slowing your recovery by being so tense all the time" Shoto looked at him with a dead look as he replied

"And how do you suggest I relax in the home of my enemies?" It was asked with sarcasmos it doesn't count as asking him for help

"Well im not your enemy. The others won't do anything if i say not to. it's that simple." it's

"...what?" Shoto was beyond confused. He was being held hostage for killing his people. How were they not enemies?

"I'm not your enemy, I've put to much time and effort to keep you alive to have you as an enemy. The elders may be resentful toward you for their kins lives but I don't really care. They won't do anything to you as long as I say so so you have no reason to be fearful."

'Yeah but as soon as you say so they will try to kill me' Shoto knew The demon put A LOT of time an effort into him but that didn't put his at ease. How could he be sure that he won't get bored with him?

The demon must have been able to see his thoughts on his face because he spoke once more

"Look, it's really bad for your health to be on gaurd all the time, your not even sleeping properly, I'm going to tell you this now so it doesn't come as a surprise later, but if you don't get over yourself I will add to your medicine to force you to relax."
