The criticism of herself would have been hard to miss. "You're still here," he told her. And though it may not have been the most reassuring thing to say, the point still stood.
He watched her hand as she touched him. He thought it shouldn't have been so jarring now, not after.... If he allowed himself to have an opinion on it one way or the other (though his body seemed to have an independent opinion on it, moving into it almost imperceptibly), to really think it through, he was sure it would be devastating to him. This was alien, comfort in touch was not something he had been given since -
But that was locked up tight. If there was one place his memory wouldn't go, amidst years of war, brutality and change, it was there.
"I was trained into it from a young age." She should know that. No reason to feel useless with herself, it wasn't something he had been born into either. Unless the bloodline pull really was that strong. But then... that wasn't real either.
