You'll like this one a lot more than Carrie, don't worry.

[lifts his head from your shoulder]

I'll find something that's not so depressing next time.

[headcannon]

I would not... call it depressing, exactly. Sad, surely, but not hopeless.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're right. Something not sad, then.

[headcannon]

I look forward to it. Thank you, for... exposing me to such things.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

[kisses your cheek]

Of course.

[headcannon]

I wish I could do the same for you, but alas -- I've come quite empty handed.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

No, you've done...you're doing a lot.

[headcannon]

I want to do all I can. [leans over and gives you kind of awkward side-hug]

[leans into it, trying to make it as unawkward as possible

eventually, though, he decides it's not working so well and stands up, offering you a hand]

[headcannon]

[Takes it, pulls himself up]

[gives you a proper hug and rests his head on your shoulder]

[headcannon]

[Copies the motion, idly petting you with one hand]

...I'll admit, I'm glad that I can help in this rather specific way. I enjoy it quite a lot, as selfish as that may sound.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure you're supposed to. But you help more than that, you know.

[headcannon]

I should certainly hope so.

[pulls back enough to kiss your temple] I was partially joking--the aid I'm most used to providing are things such as "send troops" or "petition Elysion"; I must say this is by far more enjoyable.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

It must be tough.

[headcannon]

Not at the moment it isn't.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

[runs his fingers through your hair]

Good.

[headcannon]

[Closes his eyes and enjoys that]

You do much for me as well, I hope you know.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

[plants a light kiss on your neck]

I'm glad.

[headcannon]

[nuzzles]

...Are you staying, again?

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

If you don't mind.

[headcannon]

I most certainly do not.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I...really appreciate it. that's one of the ways you help, actually.

[headcannon]

Is it? ...Why? If you don't mind telling me, of course.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

[shakes head]

You know that things...aren't easy, back home. And that I'm not...entirely okay, because of it. I have nightmares. Really bad ones, sometimes. But...they're not as bad, when I'm here.
