Charles was shaking with the effort it took to keep still as Edwin approached, though he couldn't help but lean into the touch when it came, a whine like a distant buzz saw building in his chest, just vibrating there, trying to keep quiet and still because he knew that much, remembered it maybe.
Though even as Edwin looked for a way to remove the muzzle, threads unfurled from the rope around Charles' neck, coiling up and around the muzzle, not to reinforce it, but apparently to dull the points of those nails, Edwin couldn't remove another mark of ownership, but being there, close enough to reinforce his own, was apparently enough to alter them a little and Charles sagged forward into Edwin's hands as soon as he was able, blinking up at him again despite the fact that -were he standing instead of sitting- he'd be able to rest his chin on Edwin's shoulder without having to crouch.
