[He's so glad to see her come to him, like the guilt that she must be feeling isn't stopping her from seeking him out. Scott was worried about that for a second, but as she pulls the chair over to his side, he knows he worried for nothing.
Even though he hurts nearly everywhere, it doesn't stop Scott from curling his fingers into hers. At least he can move his fingers, right? Orpheus missed that part of him. And now he can fully reassure himself that she truly is warm once more, the metal skin that overtook her form fully gone. He wants to keep this close as much as possible and he likes to think that it's healing him better than any healing spell or medicine. Maybe if he keeps holding her hand, she won't transform either.
His grip feels the same as ever, though there's a shaky edge to it, a tremor he's unable to fully hide because of his recent trauma.
He's pushing it back. He can do it. He wants her to be here and reassure Kotone like all the other times she supported him. When Phoenix took over him-- the other him and killed Ryoji. She didn't pull away even though she was so upset. The least he can do is provide that same comfort, even if he's recovering on this bed.]
I just want you here. [By his side. He doesn't care about water or food right now, even though he probably needs it. Honestly he can only really think about the distraught girl next to, bypassing any bodily need that would normally tell him that he's hungry or thirsty. He just wants her.
The apology is expected and he's about to reassure her, but she's ducking her head, not meeting his eyes, and.]
...Kotone? [He starts, throat a little dry and raspy. Scott wants to tilt his body towards her, but he ends up just cringing in pain.] Look at me.
