Of course Federico understands. A sarkaz's weapon is, to many of them, a piece of themself. It's safety, protection, and death for the threats before them. The fact that this person isn't brandishing it at himyet is...a good sign.
So he watches, anxiety coiled tight in his chest as this man comes closer, kneels.
(Pfff...it would be. Federico in particular would not handle such a strong taste very well at all. A very sour lemon...too tart, too overwhelming. Indeed an appropriately offensive taste.)
Federico gives the man a flat look in turn, his tail flicking. How else might he respond? And again with the "Angel Face"...what is that about?? The gargoyle looks increasingly confused. ...He tries to hold onto that. Confusion lets him question things, stay more aware through the pain pressing down on him.
He huffs, nodding again, hissing softly when it makes the room spin again.
He...loses some time, it seems.
Because when Federico's eyes focus again, there's a raised hand, and the man's voice rising in volume. Calling him...? Why does he sound...that's not anger in his raised voice. What is...
'Eyes on me.' Why...
Still, the gargoyle watches, flinching slightly when the man turns suddenly. Did he hear something? The flowers sway with the movement. Federico watches them in dazed fascination. There are many better places to grow flowers than from a person. Maybe this sarkaz wanted to be more mobile...?
He drags his gaze back to the man's face. He's talking. Reaching forward-
Federico's breathing picks up significantly. But the words register, then. He's...wanting to remove the gag. He's...helping? Or does he just want easier answers? Either way, having it removed would be....nice. Between his bound arms, legs, wings, how his shoulders burn with the position they're forced to hold, the bruises inflicted- the metal gag is the worst. Wrong movements make it cut more into his skin. It's not something made for sarkaz, for people. It's something made for beasts. He knows this.
It silenced him all the same.
This man is offering to remove it. To tell him if it hurts (when? It all hurts. It hurts right now get it offget it off-) so he swallows down his fear as the hand comes closer, forcing his breathing to slow. He does scan the man's hand for any cuts, any injuries. He's likely to come in contact with his blood.
Then again, he saw the originium crystals on the other's face. So it may not even matter by this point.
So Federico watches very closely, going very still. The only movement is his breathing, and him belatedly tilting his head so the other can have better access to the leather strap around his head keeping it fastened.
It makes it harder to watch his movements. But if it gets this thing off him, that's...acceptable.
