[He doesn't know what to think about that. What DOES he do with this, huh? That's a joy of a kind, right? He should be happy! Damn it, be happy!]
[The fool brought a form elation to the stage! Bow to the audience! Revel in it!]
[Does he even know how to?]
[A mixture of emotions cross through that tired face of his - perhaps this is the most raw he's been with someone, really, even with the dreamscape. Masks aren't fitting right for the moment. It all feels like a wire that this little bird has chewed through and left open.]
[The bump on the shoulders makes his eyelids flutter - his bandaged hand detaches, only to shift around the other's neck, to the back of his head, tugging him in so forehead taps against forehead. His eyes stare into the other's, to pin them down.]
[He spares a little laugh. His little traveling bird.]
Stay alive, yourself. [And his voice drops, a sharp little whisper.] But do something like that again, and I'll follow that protocol of yours, alright. Got it, pal? Sampo - I - won't take your stupidity lightly.
