[ He doesn't know if the touch is for her own comfort, or for his own - but knowing Linnea he suspects it's the latter. And it works, because obviously he enjoys it, and by the time she laces her fingers in his, he gives her a small squeeze right back, and brushes his thumb against the back of her hand ]

I'm quite glad you were able to go along with it. Having been able to meet you has been one of the joys of coming to this place.

[ he laughs at that, but then he leans in to kiss her cheek, soft and affectionate ]

How could I not, when these weird little gremlins are so charming?

I will always listen to you. Whatever your worries, big or small, you will always find a friend in me.

But now I really should let you take that nap.

[Then she gets to her feet and starts turning back to her nest.]

See you in a few hours.

[ honestly if she had just stayed there, he would likely just have let her nap right on his arm. But he will also get up and wave at her before walking back - ready to pick her up to go to the theater after a few hours ]
