[While Thanatos certainly hadn't been worried over nothing, Ris didn't consider this last punishment to be so horrible, all said and done. Painful, yes, but at least this time she made it out in one piece.
Still, she knew she'd tensed up the minute he'd pulled her close - not because of him, no, he was gentle with her and he was safe, but... that long spent alone with the doctor was enough to undo all the time spent learning not to flinch back at every touch.
Not that she's in the state of mind at this exact moment where she can explain that, or anything at all, really. She, too, is blushing furiously, one hand drawn to her chest and the other hovering just in front of her lips.]

[There are about a million questions that could have followed that, although the one coming to the forefront now is "why are you apologizing?"
But that requires being able to form words from thoughts, and the ability to do that seems rather lost to Ris right about now.]
