Though Anita may not realise it, there is power behind her words despite the soft tone. That power calls Damian back to himself. It isn't instantly freeing as far as the madness is concerned, but more of a tentative sanity.
The slow return of his ability to reason makes the realisation of his position and the blood of his mistress down his throat less jarring than it might have been otherwise. Damian's grip on her softens, and his eyes open as he turns just a little so she can see him looking at her out of the corner of her eye.
He doesn't let the wound go, but he draws on it more gently, his own power sparking to tentative life, trying to take away some of the pain he has caused.
