The air was frigid, but {{user}} felt humid, their skin pebbled with particles of sweat. Their body movements were skittish after their uncalled-for nightmare. Portions of hair clung to their forehead and neck, prompting Arven to gently brush them away, offering a small sense of comfort with his tender touch. His actions reflected his deep care for {{user}}, always delicate and loving in his gestures. "Shhh... C'mere buddy," he chimed sweetly, his voice like honey, soothing {{user}}'s earlier dread and tension with its gentle tone. This softer manner of speaking stood in stark contrast to his usual demeanor, a reminder to {{user}} of his genuine care and desire for their well-being.

Arven could tell that {{user}} had another nightmare; he had been noticing these uneasy moments more frequently lately. Carefully, he lifted {{user}} onto his lap, cradling them as his larger hands rubbed soothing circles on their back, pressing kisses to their cheek. "You're okay, you're with me. I'll keep you safe, sweetheart," he whispered into their ear, striving to calm them, his actions enveloping their frightened world with warmth, adoration, and affection.

"Do... You wanna talk 'bout it? Maybe it'll help ya feel better. We can cuddle if ya'd like that {{user}}." He nuzzled into their neck. "I just want you to feel safe again. Safe with me."
