Gyre watches Ten push his phone into his face, and he's so stunned for a moment he doesn't even notice Luka approaching him. He realizes after a second that this shouldn't surprise him. He saw it earlier. And yet watching that glowing box vanish inside the monster's normally smooth face is too shocking to ignore.

It's not until Luka is close enough that he might fall that he suddenly snaps back into focus, raising a hand to catch him if he comes too close.

"Okay," he says in a daze, taking a second longer to process what he actually asked for. He uh dreads touching his broken nose honestly, but there is something almost pleasing in be able to fix something he fucked up only a couple days ago. He takes a deep breath.

"Okay," he repeats himself, and this time he actually moves, taking Luka's wrist almost delicately and turning his hand upwards. Hopefully starting here will make the face slime a little less unpleasant? He gathers a little more of the goop out of his hair (blegh), and begins to smear the stuff over the other's palm with his thumb. He's trying not to push too hard, but he's also making sure to cover anything that looks discolored.

After a moment of this, he takes his hand away, checks his work, and asks, "Ready?" This is all the prompting Luka will get before he reaches up suddenly, and grabs him with both hands, running fingers over the bruised arch of his eyebrows and straight down his nose. He moves quickly, but precisely. He's straightened a few broken noses in his time, and he coats him in slime with the same sort of efficiency, trying to get it over with while causing the least amount of pain possible.

The second he's done, he steps back, letting him go and waiting to see if the healing takes. Fingers crossed!
