[He really should tell her that she's injured - but for now she accepts this easily. The closeness, the words that she'll hold onto, humming softly even as she remains latched onto him with zero intention of pulling back or letting go. Her head rests against his and she seems to take a moment to consider her words. Her eyes shut and she can't help but think it's a bit sweet - to not be forgotten.]

You did...? [still with a bite of awe, her face growing warm with both embarrassment and pleasure - she does like to hear that.] Mm... That makes my heart warm to know.

Я тоже. I missed you too. Everyone is gone so I... I did not always know what to do, or how to help. Hearing from you and knowing what you are doing... Полегче. It made it a little easier.

[She rests her head against his shoulder then, shoulder shaking with a brief laugh.]

I am happy if you are here. Riding is still good... but I just want to be with you while you are here, if that is okay to say.
