[ Eula's sure she feels her heart shatter at the tears in his eyes, at the way his voice almost breaks on the first apology, the way he repeats in in the next moment. At the very least, it's enough to make more of her own tears flow, a sob catching in her throat. She swallows hard, trying to get herself under control and failing, and she leans forward, pressing a soft kiss to the corner of his mouth. ]
Stop apologizing. Just...
[ She shakes her head; suddenly lost for words, she instead wraps both her arms around him, the movement gentle and carefulโ she doesn't want to reopen the stitched wounds or cause him any additional pain, especially now that he's potentially caused some issues by moving as suddenly as he did. ]
Just...
[ Her own voice cracks again, and Eula presses her lips into his hair so that he doesn't see her face crumple the way she knows it's about to. All she can think about now that he's in her arms is how fragile his normally strong build feels against herโ how frighteningly close she came to losing him.
(And later, later when she's not an emotional, anxious wreck over this, she'll wonder about that, wonder about the fact that somehow he's become instrumental to her, important enough that even the thought of losing him takes her to pieces.) ]
