[warmth flickers through him at the kiss to his throat, eyes all but closed. and really, there's just a little shiver that runs through him when Sylvain pulls out, exhaling it as a breath. he really is too sensitive sometimes.]

It isn't so bad for me, right now. No more uncomfortable than a church pew. [he does move to climb back to his feet, considering for a moment. he doesn't really know what to expect out of other people yet, but at this point, isn't it best to just be honest?] We still could now, if you'd like. I... wouldn't turn down a little time to at least cuddle, if you're up to it.

Mm, and... [there's no telling if it'll do anything, but he knows himself. if he didn't offer, he'd just be wondering if he should have.] If you're feeling a little worn, I can try sharing some of my essence with you. It shouldn't do anything more than give you some energy, if... it works at all, of course.

[but it's a reasonable expectation, he thinks. all creatures that are living have to have some kind of energy that makes them alive, right?]
