You're very welcome. You were extremely impressive. [It's a sleepy mumble, but it's fond and Erik can probably hear the smile that comes along with it. Once they've both rested up, he's definitely going to be curious to see how far that can be pushed, how he might be able to make it work for him even without a lightning storm.
But that can come later. Right now, he's perfectly satisfied with how things are. There's a needy part of him that doesn't want to let go. Having someone to lean on makes it easier to forget what happened, to banish the memories of seeing a friend's body ripped to pieces and just left, like it's garbage. He's seen a lot of difficult things in his time, but he's not desensitized to it, not by a long shot, and he's not sure he ever wants to get to a point where he is.
He sighs softly and doesn't move to pull away, keeping himself grounded in Erik and content not to let his mind wander much.]

I'm glad you don't hate yourself.
