[ The sound Basch makes is more surprise than any real protest. When was the last time someone lifted him? An injury a decade ago? A prank when he was still small and young?
He curls into the warmth, an arm weakly grasping around Sylvain's neck, oddly comforted by the mix of his hold and Olivine's lingering touch. It's surreal, and almost under water feeling, hearing the two of them tease and feeling them lean to kiss around him.
Olivine's hand falls aways, and Basch sees his familiar form disappearing on his task. He hadn't quite caught his breath enough to say something now, but he finds himself glad the other is coming back. ]
Thank you [ he murmurs, hoarse and dry-mouthed. It's too little, and clumsy, but he gives a weak squeeze, head lolling against Sylvain. Gods he feels like he's failing somehow, collapsing like this, not able to finish Sylvain, not able to properly thank or care for Olivine.
And ... the worst part is, some part of him just wants to sink into being taken care of. It's a craving he didn't even know he had, and now that it's open, it's a gaping maw of a want that he has no energy to resist. ]
