[ As he reaches for her hand she immediately laces her fingers with his, palms pressed close before she steps in a little closer and leans against him, head resting on his shoulder. With her other hand holding her ice cream there’s no free hand to hold her board up so the little smile on her face is there and plain for him to be able to see. ]
Mmhm.
[ She doesn’t really need to say much else than that: she means it when she says she knows he’ll protect her. That she trusts him wholly like that. Despite everything that he did, he’s different now (was different before the Wizard reset all their character development to 0) and he also made a promise, one she believes— no, knows he’ll keep this time.
…It also starts to set in for her again though - as it had a few times during these last few days - that pretty soon he’s not actually going to be there to protect her. That she’s going to have to relearn to stand on her own without him or Farrah or the rest of their little makeshift family to support her - that for the first time since they held each other’s hand during that second trial (excluding those first few days after they died) he’s not going to be right beside her with their hands together like this.
Like the last few times she thought about this though she… does her very best to NOT think about it anymore than that. But her smile does falter - though considering her usual facial expressions that might not seem too weird.
When they’re at the spot she tips her head up more towards him. ]
Is here okay?
[ It’s prob just a bench facing the bay or something. ]
