[A good man... He can't accept a compliment like that when he feels so wholly undeserving of it, but Yael can, at the very least, acknowledge it with a low hum. Tucked into the warmth of Fai's embrace, Yael cedes to selfishness, to greed, and wraps his arms around the only source of comfort he has.
Forgive him for the protracted silence. Vulnerable as he is, Yael isn't confident he can speak without lapsing into tears. Ones he scarcely deserves to shed, mind, but that doesn't stop his body from reacting as it will. Feeling the onset of those tears, pricks in his eyes giving way to swelling heat, his arms fasten tighter.]
