"Would you?" he asked, somewhat mollified. "It would be an enormous relief," the Titan admitted with a soft sigh, squeezing back before reluctantly letting go.

"You want to watch something less...grim? I don't want to sleep on that," he murmured, a bit embarrassed. The last thing he wanted to dream about was being forgotten so sadly.
