[So bold of him to chastise the man for treating him too softly, only to let the fears of his childhood get better of him. Even in his current state, Richard can feel the barbs of shame prickling against his back.
Richard's grip is strong, holding both of them still just like the breath that's won't leave from his lungs. Well, it's a small blessing that Silco can't see the distress twist Richard's expression. Then, when he is pulled closer he uses that as chance to press properly against other's back, resting his forehead on Silco's shoulder. The body heat helps him to calm down his nerves, calling him back from nightmare of his past.
As long as he's here she can't control him any more. None of her words can't hurt him. He's right, he tells himself. Just two monster lurking in the dark where they belong. If something were to come their way he would simply cut it down, tear it from limb to limb and gobble up its remains.
A shaky brief escapes from him, body relaxing as his expression returns back to neutral. His hold on the man's forearm loosens, fingers sliding down to take a hold of his wrist instead.]
