[it's the sort of situation that stahn honestly doesn't know how to help with. not in the ways that he normally would with others. he tries so hard to respect those boundariesm knowing just how much judas hates to be touched...

but he can't help himself; stahn can't help but to pull him into a comforting sort of hug. the father in him, the friend in him can't help it at all, though he still keeps his touch light enough to indicate that any real resistance will cause him to pull back if that's what judas wants.]

I'm sorry. I'm sorry you have to remember such terrible things. I'm sorry that Elraine was someone who could do this to you... you never deserved it. There was never a time when you deserved that, I promise you.
