[The look on his face, tired as it is, shows more surprise than anything else. He would hardly have expected anyone to offer to help - those who knew him would not be inclined to do such a thing, and even those who didn't know him... well, he was used to being on his own and being considered some sort of villain. A villain to the wiles of destiny, perhaps...

he does reach up with a shaky hand to grasp hers weakly. Perhaps here some things can be different.]

Thank you...
