Everyone requires someone who is capable of dealing with their darker sides.
And Soren appeared to be a pro at dealing with Zale's both positive and negative sides.
It has been a few moments since Soren has calmed down a little. His sobbing ceased and was replaced by a few sporadic sniffles.
Soren was still seeking comfort in Zale's embrace, and Zale was still clutching him awkwardly, allowing Soren's tear-streaked crimson face to nuzzle into his shoulder.
After putting Soren at ease, Zale was supposed to send him into his own room. But now he's at a loss for what to do because Soren was snuggling into him and didn't seem to want to get off him any time soon.
In any case, Zale didn't appear to be complaining. If anything he was more than optimistic with Soren behaving like this. He wanted to talk and ask Soren about the mates things or whether he accepted him or not but he was so scared.
