[Dextera has always had a peaceful aura to him that was difficult to explain. He was soothing to be around, relaxing, comforting, and Guren had always assumed it was just the way he held himself so selflessly. This right now, though, was really unlike anything Guren had ever felt before, and he wasn't sure how to classify it, or what it meant.
It's enough to get him to lift his head, letting out a breath like a laugh as if that'll excuse his teary eyes. But he blinks that away quickly enough, staring at their hands. Safe.
That's right. They're safe. As simple as that, his worries are knocked back, and he's calmed down for the moment.]
Yeah. We're safe. [Everything is safe, and he wants to keep it that way. He hopes he can. He curls his fingers gently to squeeze at Dextera's hand. He wants to move on, just like that, but this is going to take a little bit more. So, still holding their hands, he turns enough to lean and rest his forehead on Dextera's shoulder.]
You sure you don't just want to punch me? [It's a joke, he swears... it is helping him relax]
