Most people avoid injury when they can, and he'd gone out of his way to try to not suffer the scratches and cuts of the thorns once he realized he wasn't healing the way he should be, but this guy .. is very obviously doing it on purpose.
He does nothing. Says nothing for quite a while, he just watches Jayce. Watches as gaping, decayed-looking lethal-seeming wounds heal themselves, as antlers fall off and are replaced with a horn and sallow skin soothed into colorful hide like a stellar cloud.

And he himself, with wounds bound, deformations carefully hidden away beneath bloody bandages and evidence of his efforts to rid himself of the changes equally buried under cloth or black leather, can only wonder. Being approached, perhaps because of those same stained bandages, earns Jayce a long, measuring stare. Sephiroth's eyes have always been strangely catlike, but it's easy to assume the slit pupils are the only visible, obvious signs of change.]
