Mm.

[That's all he can manage for a moment, nodding as firmly as he's able and blinking rapidly. It's not fair for him to be weak, not now. People already think little enough of him as it is.

Shoring up what strength he has, Kris steps back from Drael—a bare half-step, his fingers still curled against Drael's chest, but far enough away that he feels like he's standing on his own two feet.]

If we could find any metal, I could maybe build a barrier. It might... it might help? But...

[All the materials he need might be in that building right across the street. Or that might not even exist in this horrible unknown place. Can he risk that search...? Kris shakes his head.]

If you see anything, tell me about it, okay? When you come back?

[contagion]

It'd help. Yeah, do that. Alright, Kris?

[It's harder than it should be. Drael squeezes Kris's shoulder, refusing to let himself shake. It'd be fine. This will work.

... He pulls Kris to him one more time, tight as could be, before releasing him and turning away, a bit more sharply than he usually would. Drael rolled his shoulder, no longer looking at Kris, and murmured.]

Yeah. I'll tell you, when we get back.

[cordiality]

[It's so unfair of Drael to do that to him, to yank him closer when he's already forced himself to pull away—Kris draws in a deep shuddering breath when Drael turns away, and begs against his own fears that this won't be the last time.]
