Kieran slowly turns his head as far as he can with Ben pressing his neckerchief onto his face so he can locate the source of the new voice, happy for any opportunity for a distraction. Granted, this particular distraction has ended with another wave of anxiety crashing into his chest and filling him with dread, but there's that small sliver of hope there to balance it out. Whoever this stranger--Carlisle--is, he apparently has the ability to grow back body parts. He has no idea how, and in any other situation he'd be far more dubious about the claim, but his desperate heart needs something to latch onto.

If Carlisle can help him, then he's willing to allow both Ben and Pratt to do whatever is necessary, even if it means an already awful situation is about to get worse. He wants to believe that it's going to be okay, and the way his friends are talking to him seem to make that prospect all the more real.

He grunts to show his understanding and doesn't offer resistance against anything that's done to keep him still. When he speaks, his voice is hoarse and breathy.

"O-Okay."
