[It takes him a little by surprise, and after he gets over the initial reaction of freezing and holding still his arms come up to wrap around her in turn. Childe is one of those people who gives the best, warmest hugs if you're one of those close enough to him to receive one. His eyes close and he doesn't verbally reply, although the tightness of his grip is perhaps the only true indication that he's not as put together as he's presenting himself to be.]

( and it's that tight way he holds her- both the way his arms wrap close and the way his hands hold on far more than they normally would- that ensures she does not let go, staying there with her chin tucked on his shoulder and her arms hanging on. )

It's okay if you're upset about it. You don't have to put on a brave face. Anyone would be upset about that sort of thing. ... You can't heal, if you don't rest properly first.

( someday she'll take her own advice. but he doesn't need to know she doesn't. )
