[ Empath, Tony. How to treat emotions and keep people from flipping out is one of those things she gets. Kind of really well. Doesn't mean she always employs that knowledge, but when it matters she does. And he matters.
She really doesn't have much experience on this subject - on the near death experience part of it, sure, she's had more than a few of those. Too many, really. Betrayal, though, not so much. Her only real betrayal was meant to save her, she's not sure if it even counts as a betrayal. She might not have the experience to fully understand it but she's in his head, she can see how much it's affected him and she can at least see the feelings as he has them if not have a precise personal understanding of them. She's hardly going to dismiss that lightly, the feelings themselves or that he was willing to give her the context of his behavior even when she'd stopped pushing for it specifically, but for the moment she can let it fade into the background, instead smiling at that low noise as she sets a slow and steady pace for now, pulling away and pushing back, breathing starting to go a little uneven. ]
