Sanzo couldn't help the sigh of relief as the pain eased. As skilled as he was at hiding it, he still felt it and his stamina was fading fast. He especially appreciated the relief before he saw the tool Drake had. Fuck that was going to hurt like hell. His dignity hurt enough already! Thankfully Drake was kind enough to not undress him more than he had to around this asshole.

He answered Drake in a rough, tired voice. It was the same language but stiffer, awkward. When he wasn't being put back together he could use it better. Until then, that was the best he could do.

Sanzo ignored Cassian for now.
