[Good, follow him in this. At least it seem there will be no need for further tricks like HEro's 'name me five items in the room, five sounds and five smells', all exciting stuff for dealing with Anxiety.

He smiles up in the other's direction. Okay, kneeling down had been a terrible idea, even if it was the easier way to be in line of sight of the other. His legs are... too stiff not to get stuck. Oh, god, everything hurts.]

That's it, you're doing amazing, Basil.

And, yes, we will get there. I was talking about it with Aubrey the other day. Even if we were, big surprise, yelling at each other.

Even if Happily ever after are not a thing, I'm certain we can get to a spot where the good outweights the bad.

Let's work hard together until we get there, mh? And don't worry, I got your back in this- after all, we want everyone to be happy, right? This includes you too.
