[ His voice trails off when he sees the way her arms are trembling, just in time for him to carefully set his bowl down in front of him. The lightheartedness he'd felt drops as he realizes why her arms continue to tremble. Reminded of what he did... But if he dwells too much on that now? Who knows what he'll be compelled to do? The fighting was, for all intents and purposes, over now. But he didn't know that. For all he knew, he could be going back out there, looking for a fight to avenge someone who didn't even need avenging anymore. But if there's one thing that's keeping him still...it's her voice echoing in his mind.
Telling him not to go. "Don't go." she pleads after what happened below in Lightless.
And when she reaches and manages to get the creamy 'stache off his upper lip, before she can move away? Both his hands settle beneath her forearms before moving up to her own hands. And he holds them there, not really giving a damn whether Elaine sees or not as he gives them a caring squeeze. They're going to support one another through this- but like hell was he going to sit there and let her tremble. ]

Thank you.
[ Not just for the napkin wipe either. ]
