[Asbel can feel that warmth, even if he can't exactly make out Richard's features in the dark. And for a moment it flutters there in his chest like a cozy summer breeze.]
Thank you.
[Asbel doesn't pull his away either. He doesn't mind sharing the same space at all. In fact, here by Richard's side, he feels calmer than he has all night, and for a few seconds he lets himself pretend that they're at the beginning or the end of another exciting journey together. Just like in Richard's books.]
[His own words to Lambda echo in his mind, about reaching out, and he has to wonder why he ever stopped. Surely feelings, even complicated ones, aren't something to just cork up and set on a shelf to collect dust, right?]
You know, I never told you this, but I'm glad to have you back, Richard. I'm glad we can sit and talk together like this. So even if things get crazy in the future, don't forget that you can call on me anytime. I may not have all the answers, but I'll always come help you.
