( Wrath is aware it's the effects of the curse which have Emilia recoil against him as the effects of his own have him envious of those she chooses to spend her time with. He does hate the feeling - his brother's sin seeping into his veins where it does not belong.
He has spent a very long time without her, aching for the hollowed out space within him left at her initial absence so long ago. Memories ripped away from her, moments that have been stolen by a deal made so long ago.
He finds the ointment left behind, recognizing it for the twig that it is. Wrath has never needed it before. His wounds have nearly always healed immediately unless inflicted on him by one of his brothers' daggers. Now there is still the light sting of wounds left upon him from the volcano, from her hands- the only person he would allow to wound him again and again if it meant having her near.
Wrath writes after he has placed the ointment on the scratches, surprised at how soothing such a concoction can feel. Having never been wounded, he is unaccustomed to the feeling, cool as it is. )
Thank you, Emilia. ( He doesn't say it but there is no one he would want at his side more to face all the challenges of this new world. )
