[ It's fine that she's there. Tears sink into the material, but really the worst thing is that she's crying so much, wailing almost and even though he doesn't have her ability he can hear the pain in it all. It's a slow movement, but he keeps one arm curled around her while the other scoops her up. He pulls her up against himself properly now, then finally lets his hand rest against the back of her neck.
His thumb rubs the skin in small circles, but it aches to see her like this.
Especially when it's his fault again. ] I will be, I will... I'm just not used to failing like this. Shouldn't you be crying for yourself? You're the one who was taken... [ Apparently he doesn't know how easily he affects her, but he's learning that very quickly. ]
I love you, I just don't know what I would have done if something had happened because I wasn't strong enough, you know?
