( there was some comfort in knowing that he didn't outright reject her hand, or reject being comforted in the only way she knew how-
by showing him that she accepted him as is, perceived flaws and all. he had been very kind to her from the start, and even if he was rather stiff and awkward about the whole thing, he was far more human than she had encountered in a long time. so of course she would be okay with what he wanted to share with her or what he didn't want to. she wouldn't push him to share exactly what happened, but she would be there for him to lend a ear or two.
so as their hands reunited, she looked up at him to make sure he was ready to head out. )
You don't need to thank me, it's what friends do.
( even if he felt things were a bit, do this for me and I'll do this for you. he was now her friend, regardless. )
going to start ending this one ♥
