"I will return to you," comes the low murmur of a promise, as though the air has been softly stolen from his lungs. Truthfully he finds himself caught up in a cresting wave of complicated emotion. He needs to leave but he wants to stay. Staying will seal their fate, though, and so walking away is the only option.
But the kiss is enough for now, all he needs to fully settle into a place still plagued by new longing but tided over by that moment of intimacy.
He holds the smaller man in his arms for a long moment, fingers scrunched into the fabric of his clothes. Breath eventually finding him again and he resumes a steady inhale-exhale.
"I will restore us," he adds, catching the brightness of the new shade Enver's eyes shine with. They have so much to discuss, and he intends to make sure they have time after to share themselves.
"I will leave you in capable hands. These people have been my only source of comfort and companionship since the crash. We will have work to do - reparations to see to - after this is done. But until then, I trust them to keep you safe, and I ask you to trust my judgement if you find yourself unable to trust them."
