... Go ahead. [This isn't the first time Felix will have seen the mess under his eyepatch, so Dimitri isn't so shaken. He does still feel the need to warn Felix, as he has every time before, that it's not pretty. Not in the slightest.] It's still rather unsightly, I'm sorry.
[It's something he's used to be deeply ashamed of, when he'd first been pulled out of his mania. It served as a reminder for a time when he'd truly cared nothing for the people around him, the people he killed, and himself. Especially himself.
(He'd gotten injured. It became infected and the illness and pain that followed was too much, too distracting. He didn't have time to be hindered by such a thing. He'd gouged it out himself.)
Dimitri (the healers. Mercedes) had made efforts to pretty it up since then, but it had been years. Medicine and scar creams could even out some of the discoloration but like Dimitri had said, it's still rather unsightly.
He lets Felix remove it nonetheless. He doesn't bow his head in shame like had had the first time; he keeps level with Felix own beautiful eyes, and waits for him to continue.]
