Such composure would be welcome any other time. Now, though...now, Samir moves round to take care of those bangs as his voice lowers to be all the more serious.
"This is the most important - do not try and keep anything from him, either. In order to get through this, you must hold back nothing. No walls. No control. When you are with him, he is beyond 'Master'."
It is how Samir himself has survived. Because what he keeps, is not even asked for in the first place - so much has he already given. But with that final warning- he does a final once-over of his work, twice, thrice- and only then does he set down the scissors and remove the towel he'd used to catch the debris.
"Now. I will walk you there, and if all goes well, he will send you back by morning with another slave. If he wishes to keep you longer, I will handle things, and you will continue to do as he wills until-" he pauses, briefly, thinking, as his brow furrows once more. "-until I signal you otherwise. Understand?"
There are Ori's 'games', and there is actually signalling Devero has been returned in full. But to emphasize this, he brings up a hand, giving three sharp taps under Devero's right ear - right at the hinge of his jaw.
"Until that, he is not finished with you, and you are still to attend him over me. Can you remember that, Devero?"
