[they're a little less awkwardly tense after she leans into it, their arms seeming to settle around her more easily, although it still feels sort of strange. hard to tell anything about their build, despite this contact.]
...do not need to thank. Wanted to do this for you.

they don't think it would be a comfort to say. instead, they take a hesitant step closer, and another.

hug the void!]
I would like to do this for you. That is, if it does not make you uncomfortable.
no subject
[they pause a moment, quiet. just sort of... taking it in.]
...enjoy this. With you.

[Only one left standing, huh.]
...I understand if you cannot answer this question, but -
Do you count as a member of your own team? Or... will you, if your numbers drop so low that you are the only one left?
[gods, please say they're not going to have to kill the hosts.]
no subject
[they shake their head once more, still quiet.]
no subject
but flayn nods, because she understands that there are some things they can't answer, and settles herself against the void again.]
I hope that we shall never have to find out.
