the placing of these next to each other is exquisite

[ i can only imagine vin smiling ( no)

he takes a short, shaky breath on his own, like he's bolstering himself. it's something he said to karlach, last week - that it's okay, to share your burdens with others. that you can be strong, but there's strength in recognizing that you're weak, that you're sad, that you're a human being. that there's strength in learning how to hold each other up.

it's the same here, too. of all the regrets he's felt, lately, nothing feels worse than letting someone in a similar position down, so when vin gives him a little vulnerability, rondo does everything in his power to hold it as safe as he can, to hug her tightly and tuck his head against the top of hers. ]

I've got you. [ he says, very quietly, curling his fingers in her clothes. i've got you. it's going to be okay. ]

[...it's been a long time since someone said that. since someone let her be scared and unhappy without expectation or disappointment. it's such a simple statement and sentiment but, murmured after a moment:]

Thank you.
