[ She doesn't think she wants to deliver another staggering emotional bombshell right now. Or in the near future, really, he reacts in ways that really worry her in the moment of the reaction. She's always scared it's going to be too much for him.
It doesn't take her long to bring back a wet cloth and start wiping him down, generally first before more specifically as she still keeps an eye on him. It's not until he's cleaned off a little before she sits down beside him and reaches up for one hand, starts to unhook it slowly. From how hard he'd been pulling at the restraints, she rather thinks he'll need a bit of stretching right now. ] How are you feeling?
had to go back several comments to see whose enthusiasm we were even talking about
[ Well. That's not unreasonable. He appreciates her trying to be so mindful of his limitations. Or, he's not, but his limitations are. He'd be kind of irritated.
I'm pretending she took the gag off already because I feel like it and because you confirmed in AIM that you didn't mean for that to happen, so. He's sort of watching her progress and sort of just looking at the ceiling, because his nerves all feel like they've been shocked a little, he's got an electric buzz thing still happening, and it's not making him any more sensitive than normal, but it's still adding to the cumulative sensations. Being let out he appreciates though, and he rotates his hand around when it's free to relieve some of the tension that had built up. ] Good. Really, really tired. [ And then totally turning to look at her. ] You?
[ Totally fine I can't remember why I didn't edit and fix that.
She moves on to let his other hand free, still watching him, and she's moved down to his feet when he turns to look at her. She's still watching him, a small pleased smile on her face because it worked, and because he said he feels good, and because she definitely did not expect it to go that well really. ] Mmm. Pretty tired too. You can get some rest if you want.
[ He's just staying still, really. He stretches a little bit as different limbs are freed, but mostly he's just sort of content to stay where he is. He's watching her watching him and that's not all that abnormal, he's used to being watched, but right now he doesn't feel the characteristic need to perform for it. Usually a sense of showmanship comes to light, but at the moment he's just still... Calm. ] What are you gonna do?
[ She really quite likes the stillness and calmness to him right now. Lack of motion with him can be worrying, but it can also be an indication of just how comfortable he feels, and this feels much more like that. That he's relaxed at all after that is a really good sign, she feels. ] I think that will depend a lot on what you'd like me to do. [ Because she wants to stay, wants to be touching him, but she's not going to do that unless it's what he wants to. ]
[ She's done a magnificent job making him feel comfortable, especially in light of how distinctly uncomfortable she'd made him feel from the get-go. It's all still something he's going to have to take some time to fully digest and swallow and integrate, but right now he's not working on that. Right now he's in the happy state of having accepted it initially, and that's all he has to do right now. He's done, and he's exhausted, and he's calm, and he's safe, and she's here, and she makes all of those other states even stronger in various ways and methods.
But he pauses there, because she's asking him what he wants now, after having decided so clearly what he needed. The switch is a lot, but even with that he's able to answer her pretty quickly, fairly firmly. He holds his hand out to her a bit, another very short pause, because this is another thing he's not that great with. ] Stay? [ And recovery. ] Unless you've got anything else.
[ She really likes the look on his face right now and the general way he feels. Really it all went far, far better than she had expected it to go, and she's pretty happy with that. There's relief in her and she knows some of it is leaking, knows that she's not keeping as tight a hold over how pleased she is with how this went as she'd like, but she can't bring herself to care, not with his hand held out to her and the tone of his voice. ]
Nothing more important than you. [ Firm and calm as she takes his hand, moves towards him so that she can lie against his side. ] It can all wait.

look he had to make up for everyone else's lack of enthusiasm
