[The only reaction is him curling in a little closer, so probably it is fine.]

[After a long couple of moments, his thumbs starts tracing a gentle side-to-side path on her arm. It's not a back rub, because that is really painful right now, but it's what he can manage.]

[She should make him stop--should get up and change the subject or literally anything other than just lying here. But she is tired, defeated in a way too heavy to suck up or walk off, and it's hard to muster the strength to push him away, and she doesn't try.]

[Sometimes it's okay to just lie there.]

[He certainly seems to think now is one of those times, because he doesn't look like he plans on going anywhere, anytime soon. The steady back and forth of his thumb is slow and hopefully soothing, and he tucks his chin in a little, against the top of her hair.]

[There's a soft little sound at the contact, perhaps even imagined. There is not any movement worth mentioning, and she stays where she's held for the duration]

[As the minutes slip by the stroking of his thumb slows to a stop, eventually, and he curls his fingers in instead, protective.]

[Some of the tension has gone out of him - the pain killers kicking in, maybe - and his breathing is strong and steady and even.]

[Hers stays the same; a little too quick yet to be believably asleep, but controlled enough to be believably not crying. At any rate, she's here with him, and can figure out the rest later]
