[As uncertain as he is at being called an example of strength, resilience, and courage -- he might have those only fleetingly at any given point, after all -- Carlisle is happy to bask in the glow of pride that illuminates the alien's face, his beaming smile beyond encouraging. He hopes to feel that pride in some way, too. Perhaps he does, just a little.
Carlisle nestles closer as Glacius draws his remaining mandible through his hair, a shiver running down his spine at the sensation. He'd think about how much farther he can go with his newfound life if his mind didn't immediately turn to how little of said life he possibly has left. He has never been the optimistic sort, preferring to take himself away from his concerns with distractions rather than solutions.]
I will try to remember that, my friend. I will certainly try.
[But if all else fails, he'll have Glacius there to remind him.]
