[He can feel as her body relaxes against him, so when the tears come he's not quite expecting them. One by one they fall on his chest, leaving a small pool behind. He's just about to say something to her when she thanks him. Speechless, Hak isn't quite sure what to say to her in response. Thankful for what exactly? Everything is a broad term and can include so much. He thinks he gets it though.]
You're pretty stubborn though.
[He lifts her head from his chest, meeting her gaze as he wipes away one of the tears with a finger as it slips down her cheek.]
I'd prefer not to drown in a river of your tears and negate whatever of my hard work you're thanking me for.
[He taps her on the nose with the finger, wiping off the single tear on it.]
All the ways I imagined this, you breaking down in tears wasn't one of them.
