"Shh," she rested her forehead against his chest, wishing she knew what to do to help him in some way.

She paused for a long moment, "Do you want me to?"

He nodded slowly. "If I'm askin', I probably want you ta," he murmured.

He nodded against the top of her head again. "Than thank you," he said, voice catching on the words, half hoping she didn't notice.

She leaned back enough so she could look up at him, placing a hand on his cheek, "Always."

Macavity swallowed again, and led the way back into the bedroom, curling himself around her and trying to get to sleep--he hadn't slept since the verdict and that had been over twenty four hours ago.
He managed to sleep through a surprisingly large amount of the night, though it was hardly a deep or particularly well sleep.
Waking up before the sun the next morning, he couldn't sort his mind at first, and lay there, a paw on Griddlebone's chest, listening to her breathing.

It had taken Griddlebone quite a while to fall asleep, and nearly as long to wake up between first cracking her eyelids open and finally waking up enough to look at Macavity. She reached up, gently closing a paw over his.

He offered her a faint but still strained smile. "Good mornin'," he said softly.

She returned the smile, gently, "Morning. Did you sleep at all?"

After a moment he nodded. "Some. More than expected. Th... thank you for stayin'."

"I'll stay as long as you need me," she replied quietly.
((*headdesk* Can I try and convince my characters not to say things that will cause more pain later?))

He paused and nodded, burrowing his face into the crook of her neck and shoulder, just breathing there for a minute. "I love you," he whispered, and prayed to whatever deity was laughing at his expense she would never ask of him the same things Brachen had.

She swallowed at that, a paw coming up to stroke his headfur, "I love you too."
