[He smiled and shifted a little so he could pull his arm free and hook it around him, hugging him to his side. He gave him a little shake too.]
You're strong. But I'm here for you when you can't be.
The good thing about being as big as me, easy to lean on. [He was trying for teasing, but his words were no less true. If Noct needed him, he'd be there. It's all he really wanted. To be needed. To have a place. Back home he knew where that was without having to ask. But here, away from their world, he was uncertain. For once needing reassurance, he just wasn't sure how to go about asking for it.]
