[for a few moments, he just looks at it, but.

eventually, he accepts, though his hand remains gloved.]

All of you had best survive this.

[not just the people in this room.

it still feels very recent, losing a number of his people, then even more of who remained-- he doesn't wish to be one of a handful of survivors here.]

[Honestly, Chiron prefers it remained gloved, as he presses a kiss against one of the other's knuckles and then drops his hand from his.]

... We will. If the poison had meant to kill us, it likely would have by now.

[An offered smile, though he... looks at Emet with concern all the same, and attempts to walk him through his thoughts with logic.]

Everyone needs rest, of course, but I do not think we were hit with the same amount that Shigeo was.

There is time yet. We will not truly know until more has passed.

[at least enough to match the overnight period it could have taken to kill mob, if it was lethal.

he doesn't let go after the hand kiss, either, although he also does not return the gesture.]

[antaressnipe]

[Mm, as much as he wants to insist that Emet-Selch relax, they will be fine ... he knows exactly why he cannot insist, either.

That memory was not stolen from him.]

Will you remain here, until you are certain?

[Giving his hand a sight squeeze]

[arkitect]

...I will stay. Perhaps not the entire time, as I do have others I will need to speak with, but-

I will remain here when I can.

[Another smile. If that's what he can offer, then it's enough for Chiron.

He'll likely fall asleep and only then let go of Emet's hand unless he shakes him off sooner]
