[ he raises a brow questioningly, but the hiccup-giggle combo does make his expression soften. he will use his hold on her hand to tug her closer, his hand against her cheek slipping to the back of her neck to draw her into him without hesitation or fear ]
[she sinks down into it, and when he says that, she clings. she hides her face against his shoulder and holds on tightly, letting out a shuddery little sigh.
it feels safe. and that's what she desperately needs. just to ease herself down a little further from feral and wretched.]
[ hugging it out it is! when she clings, scien accepts it without flinching or even a little bit of worry. no matter the displays of violence earlier or her strength on any day, he doesn't have it in him to be scared of her.
he knows that others can't pass through the barrier easily, and he knows that karlach is ultimately a tactile person who feels best when near the ones she loves. so he'll simply say - ]
I will stay as long as you want me to stay. And if you have a visitor, I will come back when you ask me to come back.
[there are little echoes in her head. bloodlust. she could dig her nails in. she could rip his throat out or throw him against the barrier or break all of his bones. for a second, she wants to.
for a second her grip tightens, and then she exhales and forces herself to relax. stay. stay with him.]
How... how long is this going to last for. [she asks, voice a little slurry with how tired she is.] I'm tired of fighting.
