(he wants it, he wants to give in but he can't because he has to be strong, has to be the tool and bring back Byron instead of Tron so that the others can have their father again, even if he's not one of them any more)
That dripping tendril is against his face before he can answer though, and moving and the stuff dripping from it is burning away his clothes and, for a moment, IV is terrified. Beyond terrified.
(it is burning it is fire and he would rather die than be burnt again)
But then he registers that it doesn't burn, not on his skin. Something like it, something that leaves him twitching in his bonds as his skin tingles with it.
(the relief of that alone is enough to leave him limp, for the moment, breath gusting out of him sharply and voice weak when he tries to talk) ]
