It wasn't the same nigh-depthless well that he had for Nicky, but it was no less rue and no less fierce.
He edged forward, reaching out to tug lightly at the spill of overgrown bangs across Booker's brow, "I know it's often easier to believe your own mind even when it lies than it is to believe what the rest of us are telling you, but I want you to hold onto this truth since I know you will her it now. You are one of us, for better or for worse, we are here for you as we hope that you are for us. You are, and will always be, welcome where we are."
Another little tug, both brows lifting, "Do you hear me?"
