[ Your steadiness and your simple ability to just make everything better both through what you say and all of the little things that make you what you are for him (your warmth, your smell, the precise weight and feel of your hands, the sound of your voice) will never cease to amaze him.
Watching you a moment longer after you finish, and then just letting out a shaky sigh. He's also pulling himself in closer, to bury his face into your neck. ]
You're right. I... I guess I just need some time to accept that.
[ And here he is, curling around you and keeping you close, a weighted breath leaving him as he steels his heart and buries deep his own disappointment that this whole exercise turned out to have a drawback he hadn't accounted for. ]
Take all the time you need. [ He presses his nose into the crook of your neck, arms tightening in an instinctive gesture that says fall apart if you have to, I'm here, I always will be for as long as I can. His voice is rough with emotion and hushed with the need to be your rock and your shelter, come what may. ] We have that here, time.
[ Call him selfish, but if he can milk Eudio for everything it's worth, he will. Here's a space and a world removed from your own, where you two can just be for once, without the press and demands of the Vigil you'd both temporarily left behind. ]
