[ Therein lies part of the struggle. It is difficult for Theo to come up with anyone else that he would readily find comfort in these moments with.

Now the other admission would have caused the Viera to lift his head and look at the other in the eyes. Yet that's not possible at the moment so he breathes out a sigh. One hand moves to grip at those robes. The Exarch is not making it any "easier" but at the same time? All too easy. A... Mutual attraction. How. Odd. ]
