She gave him a small smile at that and nodded slightly, dropping her hand from his jaw but not stepping away. Being close to him was comforting, and she'd savor it for as long as she could.
"So what now?" she asked him gently, hoping it wasn't too soon after what he'd just experienced. Did this mean they just had to wait for however long? It seemed like such an awful fate for these people who had come to mean so much to her. She had her favorites among his crew, of course, but she cared for all of them and would protect them with her life if it came to it, just as she had with her team. It didn't matter that she suspected they might not do the same.
She reached up with a hand to brush at the spots on her face that felt wet and slightly sticky from the salty tears. The emotional rollercoaster of the last short while had her feeling worn out, but her focus was still fully on him.
so much <3
