"Go lie down." *He muttered.* "I've got to take care of those."
*Enjolras gestured vaguely to Grantaire's back.*

He frowned, feeling guilty, and moved stiffly to lie on the bed, folding his arms under his head and wincing at the pain from the burn on his leg. He certainly wasn't going to mention that and have the other man demanding he remove those as well. It'd be too much to bear.
"Have I...do you blame me?" He muttered and pulled his pillow over to rest his head on.

"You, society, the establishment for getting you stuck in a vicious circle, myself for not making sure you didn't go in the first place." *He said.*
*He went to get dressings.*
"You're walking oddly." *Was what he said upon his return.*

He tensed a moment and then muttered into his pillow. "You would too." hoping that would be enough to dissuade and further questions about that.
"You...don't think I enjoy it, do you. I don't."

"No, I don't think that." *He said quietly.* "And you're walking as if there's something wrong with your leg."

"It's nothing." He insisted, tensing again and gritting his teeth about any coming pain in his back.
"How much brandy do you have?"

"Enough."
*He didn't trust that something wasn't wrong with Grantaire's leg, but he would leave that until later. He began tending to the gouges on the other man's back, trying to be as gentle as possible, but as thorough as well.*

Grantaire seemed capable of dealing with the pain, though it was a little more than he was used to, being sober. He didn't make much noise beyond a few grunts and tried not move too much, arching away from Enjolras' hands a couple of times. His screams were always saved for his client.
"I need a drink."

*He went to get a glass of brandy and placed it on the bedside table before returning to attempting to patch up Grantaire's back.*

"Thanks." he muttered and arched awkwardly to grab the glass and take the whole thing back in two gulps, then lay down again.
"Thanks for everything. This is too much, I know, I shouldn't be bothering you with all of this."

*Enjolras shrugged.*
"It's nothing."
*It was good to have someone around besides the empty house and the wife who didn't know him.*

When his back was cleaned and dressed, he rolled up onto his side, wincing a bit.
"Still. It's appreciated."
He reached for and held up his empty glass with a slight smirk.
"Don't suppose I could have the whole bottle?"

*Enjolras looked pointedly at the bottle, which was sitting on the sideboard. He moved it to the bedside table.*
"Don't drink yourself into a stupor." *He said dryly.* "You're annoying when you're drunk."

"What about when I'm sober?"
Grantaire grinned and grabbed the bottle over to himself, taking a good swig from it before setting it down again.
"I didn't mind it so much, being sober here last night."

*Enjolras flopped into a chair (gracefully of course) and snatched the bottle. He took a swig before handing it back.*
"You're not so bad sober." *He said, teasing a little.*
