[If not a balm to apply, she was soothing nonetheless. It was hard to go wrong with a hair stroke and the warmth of her company. Touch likely was the most effective option; words were far easier to twist, misinterpret, discard.

It was like when she'd arrived with the others to save him; actions were more difficult to deny.]

Just stay where you are, and I'll be able to.

[Mumbled against her. For being so strong she was also very soft.]

[Just don't tell her she's soft, she'll go very red and try to deny it like he and Vanitas do about positive feelings.]

I'll do my best.

[It's nothing but touching from her end; the closeness of her body to Hades's own, the stroking of his hair and quiet grip of her other in his weaker hand draped across her form, and her lips barely touching his head in reassurance. Like trying to drape a warm familiar blanket to just be a reminder that everything will be alright. She cannot promise that evils will try and cause harm again but she can try to defend.

She can't help but wonder...he means that much to her and in a certain span of time...perhaps there is some good in this place despite what has happened.]

[They all have their weak points, be it softness or positivity.

But Emet-Selch doesn't respond this time, eyes closed, trying to focus only on those small pieces of physical contact. The sound and feeling of her breath. That strange feeling of being protected by her presence alone. He'd never been protected nor needed protection before. And what an absurd place to find it....

But, somehow, bit by bit, his remaining tension begins to fade. While he'd be far less sure that there was any good to be found in this world- moments like this, despite the horrors that preceded them, were a consolation.]
