In truth, this wasn't the first time he'd used pain to bring himself back to feeling secure and, more importantly, in control. Ianchus had been at his mercy for this entire session, his torture in Jezebel's hands. Even now, he was laid out on the floor because he'd been too weak to keep himself upright. Perhaps it was sick to feel more stable through torture, but at least he felt the same stability when he helped Ianchus recover as well.]
