Edmund lets Jude move him as he needs, gently resting his forehead against the younger's when prompted. "Of course, little brother." It made the darker, possessive part of the Ancient purr to know that he was so needed and wanted by his little brother. The feeling was mutual, and he cups the back of Jude's neck in turn. He'll easily throw away his plans for the foreseeable future if that's what Jude needs.
Jude's voice makes Edmund's heart ache. His brother is in so much pain, and it makes the Ancient want to tuck him away in the softest of blankets before setting the culprits on fire. Still, he shoves the bloodlust down to focus on the here and now. He nuzzles Jude gently, "Always."
The Ancient's fingers twitched where he grasped his brother, tone growing somber. "It's something that I'm working on, too. I can teach you what's worked for me so far, and we can figure out the rest together." Edmund may have been guiding his little brother for years, but they were still a team. Jude had long since proven that he had his brother's back. From games to terrifying tragedies, they were a united front. They could learn to heal and let go side by side.
