✞[ X. ]✞ Station of the Cross
[ † ] A pair of deep virescent irises stare directly ahead into a large wallside mirror, fingers brushing very, very carefully down the sides of a bristled face. Quietly, the man shuffles to the side, inspecting the area with meticulous care. Bare shoulders lift as a well-muscled arm comes up to run powerful fingers around the length of his square jawline, holding aloft one of his smaller bayonets which he was using as a razor blade.
A slow, steady hand runs the edge of the silver knife against the hair under his lip until the skin is perfectly bare, following up with a close line to his chin. There's a pause in his movement quite suddenly when he moves to the chin and he leans closer to the mirror, having nicked himself out of mild surprise. [ † ]
Whit....es thaet?
[ † ] Using his thumb and forefinger his face is tilted at an angle to show graying hairs lining his chin, a number also lining his side burns. He seems a little alarmed, but doesn't say anything, making a quick decision. [ † ]
E-ef thaet's goin' tae be how et es...
[ † ] A downward sweep and rather than simply trim his beard as he'd previously planned the paste of shaving cream is applied to the entire area before the feed times out. [ † ]
[ ooc: Okay, okay. Took me long enough, I know. Basically, Anderson has been aging while he's been in Discedo due to the suppression of his regenerative powers. So he shaved it all off. : > At least, all his facial hair. Poor Scotsman. Also, this is sort of back-dated to the 5th.]

[He gives a start as he just puts the finishing touches, scraping the blade clean.]

You are aging, Alexander.

[She never missed a beat, this one. So it was really so obvious then? He hadn't thought that the aging process would be accelerated by the suppression of his powers.]

[she lifts a hand, palm outward, the butterfly tattoo plainly visible.]
I know it's location and have the skills necessary to remove it, should you choose to allow me.

[That which had been inserted inside him? Yes...He...Knew it was necessary, but there was a part of him that....Almost wanted to say 'no'.]
Ah ken that....Lillieh. Ah....
Dinna want tae becoom ae monster.
[He'd forgotten what it was like to be fully...Human. It had been so long...]
[Video; Locked.]
I would not permit you to become any less a man than you are, Alexander.
[Video; Locked.]
[And he wouldn't be selfish, even if that meant sacrificing a part of his own happiness.]
A-ah...
[Video; Locked.]
[a small smile, but reassuring. strong.]
I am no helpless woman. You are not alone as a Warrior of God amongst man, Father.
[Video; Locked.]
Ah have tae do thaes...Fer Maxwell's sake.
[Video; Locked.]
[Video; Locked.]
Thaen ah won't hesitate.

...If you are concerned with your self-control, we will remain at the hospital until you are confident enough to return to the church, hm?
[Video; Locked.]
Thank ye Lilieh...
[Video; Locked.]
I will rest easier knowing Discedo has one more Sheppard amongst its flock.

Here and now, I'm happy to say I am merely a woman.
