[He gives Glacius a smile, setting his hand atop the alien's for as reassuring a squeeze as he can muster.]
As settled as it can be, thanks to your efforts. Your skill in rallying my spirit never ceases to amaze me.
[And as reluctant as he is for them to part, Carlisle does get to his feet. He would like to have Glacius all to himself for as long as possible, but such selfishness is unbecoming of him, especially given he shouldn't have such a relationship in the first place. It is already because of him that Glacius keeps his scar -- what more does he want?
He swallows that thought down, knowing it'd be best not to be consumed by it when he just said his mind was 'as settled as it can be.' It's frightening how quickly his own paranoia can eat him alive. He has been like that for a long time, though -- he cannot expect to change that overnight. He will survive until Glacius returns home and he feels safe from his troubles once more.]
