He stood - he probably didn't need Davrin's help but he accepted it anyway, just to keep touching him. He still felt... unmoored. He worried that if he stopped using the other man as an anchor he'd float away again, and Lucanis was just enough back to himself to know that would be bad.

After all, he didn't promise not to pull this again.

"Back to the Diamond, so I can pass on Fio's apologies as well as my own."
