OOC here!

There wasn't much he could offer her, just a gentleness that nothing had managed to squelch. Her happy whine assured Hadley that he wasn't doing anything, even as nervous as he was. He wasn't smiling, too worried for that. Her face burrowed into his chest, and he wished that he could hide Selene from all the monsters out there. Hadley was too weak to take care of even himself, but he would sacrifice himself in a heartbeat if that would make things better for the tiny young female in his arms. She was shivering. Hadley drew her closer, trying to share his warmth. Tiny hands drew the blanket around them both, allowing it to increase even further. Pulling the blanket further around them Hadley created a small cave, where it was just them, warm and safe from harm.

Feeling her shudder Hadley pulled back a little. She was shaking now. Hadley didn't know what it was, though a medic would know it was post traumatic stress. He remembered that she'd almost been raped, and that he was a male as well. Hurriedly he brushed the blanket around her, anxious to stop the shaking, to make things better. Maybe he should push her away? No, she was injured, couldn't move. He couldn't leave either. Her words sent relief through Hadley. He made her feel safe. She needed to feel safe. He pulled her close, eyes closing as she licked his chin. You can stay as long as you wish. Startled by his words his eyes flew open. She didn't need his permission. So fragile though, he just felt like he needed to reassure her, again and again. Cradling her close he kissed the top of her head.
