”Hey, you’re okay,” Danta murmurs into the space just beneath the butcher’s bearded jaw, stroking gentle fingers across skin cross-crossed with scar tissue, despite the grip the other man has on his arms around him. ”You’re safe, I promise.” He knows better than to shake Asta awake, the Maverick shifting only a fraction as sharp horns and sharper teeth make short work of yet another of his pillows, sending feathers scattering across the sheets with Asta’s movements.
Adjusting only enough to nose into his dark hair, it might be a surprise to some that Danta has done his best to learn about night terrors since the first one that had almost taken out his throat. And despite how he wants to try and nudge the butcher towards wakefulness, if Asta does fall back into a deeper sleep (so say the medics, anyway), he isn’t likely to remember this nightmare.
And so, providing the taller Ancient doesn’t wake himself up, Danta is content to continue to whisper reassurances until the moments play themselves out to a conclusion.
