As the General of the Midnight Rangers, he was bound to project an unyielding facade to himself to shield any signs of weaknesses from those under his command — for he knows how much they look up to him and as such, he maintained an unwavering facade.

Fear and vulnerability was an alien concept for him — or at least is what he thought. He seeked your presence the moment you returned from your duty, knowing that with you, he can let loose every once in a while.

He drew near towards you once you swung the door open and enveloped you within his embrace, his forehead now resting on your shoulder.

"Let's stay like this for a while..." He murmured, his commanding tone now replaced by his vulnerability.
