Jean took a deep breath and settled into his arms. She closed her eyes and focused on the feeling of his fingers in her hair, on her scalp, on her temples. She felt at this moment the weight of the world disappear, the voices too, like a shield being created around her , where she could set down her crown and just be herself a bit more. She nodded at his “order” and did indeed feel herself get into a sleepy state of mind, one where even the phoenix couldn’t reach her.
Scott could feel how in his arms she seemed to relax. He wanted to help and this was the only way he seemed to know how. He couldn’t do anything like the Professor, but he could always be there for her, no matter what. As she seemed to drift off he simply kept massaging her head, glad that he could be of some help to the woman who would always have his heart.
