" Why?" Dorian asked. [...]
"Why what?" she asked.
He lifted the arm opposite her, heavy from the combination of blood loss and medicine, to gesture loosely at his injury. "Why are you helping me?" [...]
"I'm a healer." [...]
"I know," he said softly. "I know, but I -" He gestured at the bruise on her face.
"I haven't forgotten," Ivy said. [...]
"So why?" He didn't ask what he really wanted to. Why are you being this kind? How can you be this kind?
"Because," she said, reaching for the tape on the bedside table, "there's enough cruelty in this world without me adding to it. "
