Cerberus didn't go to wrap himself around her or anything... honestly he had been the one to be cradled even after he outgrew Siren. He did feel really bad for the girl which is why he stayed but being the young and maybe just a little naive man he was he wouldn't jump on her. He laid down beside her and if she leaned back into him he wouldn't have moved but for now he wouldn't cuddle her first.
Instead when she started to talk, to apologize, he spoke out, "It's okay." And that's when his paw lifted to rub the pelts over her back as if he was helping her dry off. He wouldn't say so himself but it was more for her comfort. He was quiet though as she went on, opening up to him without him asking. That was okay. It didn't help that bit of protectiveness he was feeling related to his own sisters but looking at her.
It took him another moment to say anything, his paws going still on the pelts behind her while she looked up at him. But he started rubbing her back again, "My mother died too." Nothing like her own story. It was harsh in itself, but not something he was just going to openly share. Not right now with the girl being scared. "But I've never been alone." His gaze moved to look back at her face if it was still there to look back at him. Either way he'd still find his eyes wandering there. "You don't have to be. Scared or alone. As long as you stay on the island you will be safe." He assured her in truth. For a few days while she healed he would keep Moc with her while he did his own duties. And he supposed he could stay here with her every night until then.
