[After almost a month.

Someone's eyes are opening.]

[....]

[Darnit, Ven.]

If you--...

[Curse her for being irresponsible, but,]

...if you really want to go without me...

[Accidental guilt trip for the win?!]

....I won't stop you.

[It wasn't on purpose, she swears!]

--I just wanted to make sure you're okay.

[Excuses, excuses.]

[...):]

[She's just going to swallow her apprehension as best she can and give him a smile.]


...Go on.

[Yes, yes she does. It's making her pout back.]

...What is it?

Wh-- what? But....

[You don't want her, Ven, tell the truth--]

[She has half a mind to refuse. He obviously didn't want her to go with him before, but--....]

[...In the end, her concern wins out and she reaches out to take his hand.]

[She smiles back. It's even smaller at first, but the smile grows larger in a semi-conscious effort to help his along.]

[It's still just as sad to watch, but she manages to tie at least a smaller version of that smile in place as she gently squeezes his hand and walks slowly along with him.]

[She won't make that correlation, but it makes her smile a little more genuine to see him getting his feet again. It's not going to make her stick any less close, though.]

[He's not the only one relaxing. She may be giving him a little more space now that she knows he's not going to faceplant but that doesn't mean she wants to be farther away from him. Actually, she kind of missed hugs while he was KOed.]

[She looks even more relieved than she sounds when she says,] Good...! I'm so glad.

[...Does that mean she has to let go now?]
