H-hey. Hey, come on now, sweetie. Nothing to be sorry about. I’m—hehe... getting to play hero for once. Let me enjoy it~. *Shiox gently murmurs, his pale lips still set in that playful smile. He manages a wink of his amber eye, his cool hand returning that grip. Varada’s touch, his energy—it’s so grounding. It’s more than enough to see him through this little adventure, this much he knows without a doubt.* I love you too, sweetie. So... No more sorry’s. Just... can you... help me up?
