[Siffrin confirms but he doesn't elaborate. And Isabeau gets that, really. Whatever they tell him about the loops is up to them, and he can imagine that the fatigue they feel is many magnitudes greater than his own. Not the best state to be having the real in depth feelings talky-talks. That might not come for anyone in the party until they've put a greater distance between themselves and Dormont.
Perfect timing, then, for Siffrin to inject a moment of rest amidst all the worries and honest admissions.]
...Yeah. It is.
[He can't help the warmth in his voice, unfairly spreading a little bit of love into what is supposed to be The Fellas Hug. It's nice. Too nice for his usual fretting to settle in. Siffrin is warm and almost weightless against him, just this little thing that Isabeau has always wanted to curl up against himself and make feel safe. And as they press closer to him, he hears a silent request for more and is quietly thrilled to oblige. This hug has been a centimeter given, a centimeter taken. So he guides them in for five more of those little measurement fellas, fingertips curling into that darkless cloak as he wraps them up in a way that allows him to rest his head atop theirs. (So short!)]
And you can have it whenever you want. Blanket permissions for the future.
