...I'm sorry. I was scared — not an easy thing for me to admit, I might add.
[He opens his eyes halfway, his expression turning tired and haggard as he lets that off his chest.]
Could you find it in your heart to let me off the hook, just for a little while? I'd very much just like to lie here with you and be relieved we're both alive. Just for a little while. Please.

[Speaking of making choices, as much as he'd like to linger and get tenta-petted for the rest of this thread, there are clothes to look at. So!
He nudges at Ryn lightly, keeping an arm around him even as he loosens his hold just enough that they could turn and resume walking, if they both so desired.]
