[He stiffens a little in her embrace, but he doesn't try to pull away, and he doesn't run--for a long moment, all he can do is stand there as she wraps her arms around him and then...
Slowly but surely, even as her voice breaks, he relaxes in her hold. He doesn't bring his arms up to return the hug (now that would be strange for him, and nobody is dying right now, and the world isn't ending, so that's not happening), but he does relax and accept the hug that she's giving him, eyes sliding half-shut as he does so.
And slowly, he breathes out a shaky breath.
He's not alone here, and automatically that makes everything much less frightening; he hadn't known what to do before, but now...now, he'll be able to figure it out.]
... I don't understand. [It's admitted quietly, shakily.] Where... am I? Is this your-- your world?
[He's still trying to figure this out, but... trying to figure out how he's alive is all too daunting, so he'll focus on one of the less intense questions.]
