[It's hard to find words with Sorey still clutching at him, still acting like if he lets go of Dezel's hair, the wind seraph might fly away. It's nothing of the sort. Dezel said he would stay, and he intends to fulfill that promise. He's got all the time in the world, after all.]
It's not a contest or anything, [he says gently, as if he's teaching Sorey something mundane like how to chop a tomato rather than dealing with the mysteries of a new relationship.] Just go with what feels right. You find out what works and what doesn't.
[He runs his thumb across Sorey's cheeks again, marveling at the softness of his skin, the familiar angle of his jaw. Sorey has been asleep for a thousand years but he still maintains his youth. But even if he hadn't, Dezel would still find him handsome in his own right. Sorey's soul is beautiful, pristine and clear like the sky over the land he'd purified, and that's all Dezel knows.]
We can go as slow as you want. And if you want to stop, all you have to do is say so.
[His other hand rubs gently at the small of the former Shepherd's back. He hopes it's comforting.]
