[Leo doesn’t fight the hug, just angling his katana away so no one gets hurt. The hug is more desperate than any Huvrye has ever given him before, and Leo reaches with his free arm to hug back.
Huvrye rubs his hand up and down Leo’s shell, and it feels too hurried, too methodical to be an attempt at comfort. He’s searching for something, and Leo wonders what that could possibly mean. What kind of nightmare this was.]
…I’m okay. [He says this because he thinks Huvrye thinks he wasn’t. That’s why he’s touching Leo’s shell, like he’s expecting cracks, but there are none there.] Don’t know what you saw, but it was just a nightmare.
You’re okay. [He grips Huvrye a little tighter, butting his head against his chest.] You’re safe.
[Echoing the words Huvrye says to him, when his own horrors wake him up at night.]
