[ Dick can't even scream when he watches it happen-- and unlike last time (god, last time-- Escha) he also can't make it quicker, for either of them. Not to mention the other four... How could they have messed up so badly?
But it's fine, most thoughts leave his head for a bit while acid melts out his tongue because hmmmmm ow. let's go with ow. It's not agony free acid. Once he's free he has to steady himself on the podium for a second, taking in a breath before he tries to at least take the cowl off his face.
He reaches in his-- utility belt instead of pockets now, sure, and he takes out the first aid kit he's always carrying around. thank god it comes with bandages and suture stuff, he guesses. His hands may be shaking a little from the slow torture, but that's irrelevant. He still has them. He signs: ]
OK. Take care of our wounds first. Let's not do that again.
[ an understatement. he has to spit blood out of his mouth (which I'm sure tastes great, except, well, it's fine, he has no tongue. he can't taste much.) before he starts off with damian, considering. he kneels next to him to check if it's deep enough to need sutures? which PROBABLY it's a SWORD TO THE KNEE ]
