That touch. He hasn't been touched like that since- Actually, the last time he felt a human's touch without it being an attempt at killing him was also with Ivan. It drains all the tension and agression out of him and without that he looks so small and scared.

"Please don't..."

Don't touch him like that if you're going to try and kill him afterwards. Don't remind him he was human if you're going to throw it in his face that he's not.
