She doesn’t hold it against him, at least, and Varus hum a soft laugh, hands running along her back in gentle, idle, massaging strokes, before she’s shifting to lay with him. He tucks her in by her shoulders, head shifting to tilt toward her and watch her, a smaller smile crossing his face as she kisses along his jawline, as her fingers smudge the kohl that’s already smudged around his eyes.

He works his jaw, before he relaxes it, flashes her a small apologetic smile. “Thought I had a lead on what happened with the Infirmary. It wasn’t. Got upset.” And he pauses, because he knows that he can be honest with her, more honest than he is with everyone else. “Had a bit of a panic of what happened before, when I went offline, so.” It’s aired quieter, Varus shifting to wrap his other arm around her and tug her close against his chest, to press soft kisses into the golden tangle of her hair, to breathe her in while he can smell her and relish in a semblance of calm. “I’m fine now, though.”
