He would hold her, and he would try to keep his breaths soft in her coat, try not to deeply inhale all that was her but it was difficult. He held her tighter, buried his nose against her coat as he felt his quickly beating heart echo against her chest where he held her close. He could understand exactly what she meant, how suddenly everything seemed wrong. Lately his entire life had felt upside-down and he had felt utterly ashamed of himself, hiding from his responsibilities and his fears. All of that was gone from him now, he felt grounded as he held her, as through in a way she held him also.



He could breath, truly breath and feel himself let lose all his concerns, his stiff worry, and he relaxed into her fur, as he breathed in her scent, and wanted nothing else in the world then to hold her close. He had already discovered in himself his feelings for her, knew them for what they were. He knew he could not say them, not when her world was breaking around her, it was not his right to do so. ?I?m not going anywhere my dear, I promise? he whispered softly by her ear, for she had told him it was only right when he was there. She need not worry, he would hold her to sanity for the rest of his life if that was what was needed. He would remain her friend, her guardian, her protector, whatever it was she needed of him he would be, in return she need only live?
