Telio doesn't hesitate, he embraces you and holds you tightly in his arms. Trembling. His breath quickens against your shoulder, broken by sobs he tries to hold back, and you feel the slight tremor running through him spread to you.
βI thought... I thought they wouldn't let you go,β he confesses in a whisper, his voice weak despite his efforts to appear calm. He holds you tighter, as if afraid you'll slip away again if he loosens his grip.
You feel tears welling up in your eyes, your nose filling up, and you hug him back, just as tightly.
Arthur stays close to you, his hand on your back, torn between wanting to give you space and wanting to make sure you're really safe. His lips are pressed together, and the intense gleam in his eyes betrays the fact that he's still reeling from the fight.
