Barty wasn't awake, actually. He had been for a good long while, trying to get out of the cuffs and only halfway succeeding with one before passing out. So by the time Koschei checked on him he was curled up against the bed frame, face turned against one arm and legs pulled up to make himself even smaller and he was crying. In his sleep and quietly, but given his nose was still clogged up with blood, there was a heave for breath every now and then or a broken sob.

Koschei stared for a while, watching Barty with a mixed feeling in his gut. He wanted him to stop, he really did. He hated someone he loved so much fearing him. Moving into the room, he sat on the edge of the bed and held his head in his hands, wishing he knew what to do. Wishing he knew how to stop. But he couldn't, he didn't know how any more.

So he climbed further onto the bed, trying to be careful and not wake him, then dropped himself down beside him and rested against him.

He loved Barty. He really truly did.
