[ Levi isn't a very tactile person. There have been a handful of moments where they've touched in the past, many of which he initiated. But being touched often still takes time for him to acclimate accepting from another person. His fingers twitch reflexively under Dolph's hand, just the slightest motion, but he doesn't pull away. For a few seconds, he looks at their hands, then at Dolph, and something seems to unwind a little.
Levi settles his other hand over the top of Dolph's larger one, holding it between both his own and giving a gentle squeeze. The difference in size is a little amusing, but Levi's hands are strong. ]
[ dolph isn't either. but he's trying. and he hopes his intent translates better. they've all lost people. they're all the same. is it a comforting thought? perhaps for dolph, who has always been kept at a distance, it is. ]
[ It seems to, and those words likewise seem to bring out a softness that perhaps Dolph hasn't seen much from him before. People are people, and loss is something Levi knows all too well...they both do.
If there's some solace to be had, then good.
Still, he can never quite accept such sentiments very gracefully. Levi lifts his chin a bit, gaze sliding away briefly. ]
Thanks for letting me in the door.
[ Especially after their last conversation. ]
Meant what I said earlier, if you need help moving stuff. You know how to find us.
[ and he's not sure how much meryl wants. she's been reticent and dolph hoped reaching out helped, but she wants to be on her own. astarion is gone too. at least he's used to loss enough not to dwell too long on it. ]
