Erato gave Asterion a sweet smile, drawing in a strengthening breath through her nose as she did. She didn't want to feel sad and scared, she wanted to be glad to see her dear friend and have a good evening with him. "Thank you," she said sincerely. "I don't know what I'd do if I didn't know where you were, and putting yourself in danger too. I wouldn't be able to sleep until I knew you were safe." She shuffled over on the sofa to sit closer to him, leaning in against his shoulder.
