His heart breaks to see someone so strong looking so weak and vulnerable. He enters silently, placing one hand on her back for comfort and the other underneath her elbow for support. At his touch she jerks upright. She opens her mouth to tell him off, or say that she's fine, only to be over taken again. /p
