I always growl. [As much as he was willing to entertain that needling, and perhaps unnoticed some of that tensing did relax. Would rather keep this temporary peace between them, even if Reaper was going to be an absolute asshole about it.
76 was still sitting on his knees, but urged in to a position where that weigh was partly on his own calves as well; sitting on folded legs, more or less. Very aware of where Reaper's hands were, where he was, but making no moves to stop him. Keeping still with that knife cutting stitching away that probably needed to be removed by now with how long they'd been there.
It burned, some deep ache there, but at least the blood wasn't old; no infection growing there despite how necrotic the flesh was. Edges eating away at every bit that tried to heal, a constant repetition of healing and dying all along it. If it had been any other man they would be long dead, but here 76 was moving and carrying on as if he didn't have that eating him alive.
The work Ana had done was the only thing that had stopped the bleeding, and without that blood flowed freely.
Couldn't help the slight shiver, the way his back arched slightly from Reaper walking a few fingers—] If you can, may as well do it. I can keep going either way.

[He already had been, after all.]
