"It's all right," he murmurs. "You're home. And Tarn is nowhere near here."
He'll just forget the fact that he tried to recruit Tarn for a hot minute there. It hadn't worked, and that's all that really matters. Gently, fondly, he reaches a hand up for her face. Tilts her jaw a bit so he can see her face better. "You look like you need rest, though. Do you need a moment away from the crowd?"
