❛ tell me you’re proud of me. ❜ [ eden to gallagher ! ]
Gaze of a wide-eyed trailblazer catches the tired hound off guard. A word of affirmation often came few & far between for someone like him. A man who's appearance soaked in lies & deception, now facing one of the more earnest moments in his life as truth soon is spoken from ( alleged ) fictionologist's lips.
Hand rests upon the trailblazer's shoulder. Eden's shoulder. His grip firm & without hesitancy, letting a warmth flow from him to her as he speaks.
" I'm very proud of how far you've come. Of you. I'm proud to say you are important to me." Even though their time was all but a drop of what could be, he knows enough to provide perception of who she was to him. What he saw. Strength, perseverance, adaptability, traits that one should value in themselves among the vast galaxy they exist in. Across hundreds, if not thousands of worlds, to cross paths with her has been... nothing but enlightening. Exhilarating. Hopeful.
Simper grows as hand is removed to gently nudge her chin upwards with the joint of a curled index to keep her head up. " While I don't believe that you needed me to say that, I did like getting to tell you that. " He thinks she deserves something nice like that once in a while at least. " If you ever need another pick-me-up, you know where to find me. "
