[Leo buries his face against Elliot's shoulder, indulging in the shared warmth and encouraging a closer embrace. The feeling of his touch on Leo's stump is strange, but not unwelcome and only encourages Leo to relax. He's sure his heart isn't quiet anymore as he appreciates Elliot's touch. The sound of their duet is comforting. Leo briefly wonders how 'Statice' would sound at this pace, but keeps that embarrassing thought private.]

With another content sigh, Leo does reluctantly whisper;] But I really do need to bring you home. I am serious about checking your head, Elliot. If this story starts with a bruise on your forehead then I'll be very upset.
