"Shoooosh." She paps him this time. It's softer than it might have been before. A combination of fear of hurting him and showing him the gentleness he had been without.

"Everything isn't stopping you. Fear of things is. And that's okay. It's okay to be scared. To be afraid that things will be different, that accepting you can do things might mean you have to do things. I won't make you do anything but eat and sleep Psii. The rest is up to you. If you want to do things, I will be here every step of it."

Doubling over is a little uncomfortable. Moving isn't an option though and she wants to be close to him for a little while. Closer. Practically bent in half, she kisses his forehead softly.

"I know you're afraid you're believing in a hallucination. But you're not. And I think you find the horror you know safer than the unknowable reality. But you're not scared of the hard things Psii. You survived being a helmsman, you survived years of slavery, you survive. You'll survive this."
