[He's patient, at least. He waits even when the more unkind thoughts try to pull at the edges, he holds firm. He's rarely shied from uncomfortable truths, even if they hurt him or someone else.

That doesn't stop the small burst of relief when Scott speaks and even says 'you're right.' Those words always put a twist in his stomach.]

Well...maybe I can I help. There might not be a 'set answer' but we can try it. For starters: you've handled just about everything...except sounds like maybe you've not given yourself chance to breathe.

[He steels himself a second and moves a step closer with a hand out between them.]

Maybe a hug to start?

[ Scott puts his hand out too and he does take Chris' but uses it to almost hold him back rather than pull him in. ]

You're not a huggy person, CHris.

[chrisisofaith]

[He keeps Scott’s hand and raises a single brow.]

I’m not, but it’s been known to happen, and don’t you think my offering might mean I really think you could use it?

[notrosecolored]

[ He lifts two brows above his visor back.]

If I don't hug you this is going to turn into the same thing where you were trying to help your friends in the Torture Hole, isn't it?

[chrisisofaith]

[It wasn’t, he probably would have just let it go, but now that it’s out there…

He smiles about as ‘sweetly’ as he can manage.]

Aw, you do know me, how terrible for you.

[notrosecolored]

You're a dick.

[ The thing is, though, he steps into the hug and there's not so much tension there as grip and an intense amount of... relief. He's not sagging into Chris or anything but need it?

Yeah.

PRobably more than he realized. Maybe more than Chris did. ]

[chrisisofaith]

I know that too.

[He responds kindly, and when his arms wrap around Scott, it's a comfortably tight hold. One he has no intentions of letting go of until Scott needs to pull back.

Everyone needed a hug sometimes, even people who 'didn't like touch' like him. Even leaders who are trying to keep themselves together to make everyone else worry less.]
