[ Within Elysium, it's easy to set oneself apart from the world to take a moment-- or many moments-- to breathe. She finds herself returning more and more often, and whether he finds himself returning again or not, he'll be welcome. This space is for him, too: the breeze, the bells, the grass below and the sky above.

Oh, how she wants everything for him, and how she laments that some things just can't be given-- such as views he holds of himself, putting him lower or accepting being hurt-- things, habits, and beliefs that he'll have to overcome on his own terms, over time, and with both patience and balance. She'll simply have to be there to support him on his journey. ] I love you.

[ And she-- ] And... I look forward to supporting you, too. [ Because if and when he does overcome these habits, even just partially, or even just small, little victories, she wants to celebrate him for caring for himself-- because the world knows that he doesn't do it enough.

Pyra's arms find his shoulders, giving them a squeeze, her tone cautiously playful. ]

I'm going to hug you so hard every step of the way.

[That at last earns her a proper smile out of him, half-hidden where he's pressed against her. His now-free hand curls fingers around her arm, thumb rubbing idly to acknowledge the hug. It's easier to relax now that they've seemingly shifted a little bit away from the serious unboxing of his emotional mess, though he's well aware that it isn't any kind of instant fix, either. Still, this place and her company has done wonders for him, just like when he'd come home to hug her when he felt like he'd been falling apart.]

Hard enough to drag all this buried stuff out of me?

[That would be one way to get him talking. Maybe.]

Mm, well...! [ A playful glint in her eyes precedes her smile. ] If it can be done-- [ Hopefully, he's ready for a hug here and now!

Pyra shifts to lie against him, and then hugs him to her. Beneath them, the grass remains as soft as blankets. Above them, the sky is blue and clear as his eyes. Against him, she's as warm as her embrace. ]

Iiiisss... this hard enough for a hug?

Mmph.

[A muffled noise is all she gets at first; initially because she's holding him against herself, but then, as he shifts position and wraps himself tightly around her in return, because his face is buried against her shoulder. For a long moment he just... stays like that, the same way they'd started out, quiet and indulging in the sweet comfort of her presence. He wants this. He needs this. He's so, so glad she's here.

Finally he shifts his head a little, enough that she can hear him again.]

Just... just enough. It's perfect.

[ As soon as she hears his voice, she turns her head to nuzzle her cheek against his.

She doesn't need to look at him to see how dazzling it is, the smile she hears in his voice at last. Her arms tighten around him for a moment more. ]

Good... [ She whispers, then repeats: ] Good.

Because I'm not letting go anytime soon.
