"Mm." Francis is going to be hurting no matter how Raju does this but Raju takes care anyway, carefully picking the clothes away from Francis' wrists and over his chin, setting them aside. Being gentle with him helps Raju at least, whether or not it makes much of a difference to Francis, and smiling and joking with him helps. "Is that what's been happening? And I thought I was doing that because I like it."

He's still smiling, but he's glad he has the bandage around Francis' ribs to focus on, instead of his face. Is that something Raju would have said before? He would have felt the same before, spoken about it even before he knew what it was, or what some part of it was. And if Francis had ever thought him strange or overfamiliar before, he'd never said anything about it. It's probably alright.

"Here, and here..." he murmurs, fingers brushing the places the bandage has come loose, memorising them. "I'll tie this differently, so it holds up better. Just a moment..."

He starts unwinding it, hands even quicker at it now that he's become familiar with the way it has to sit. "What are you talking me into next? This power of yours is only lasting so much longer, you're going to want to use as much of it as you can."
