[If this has been before Reverie, Malleus might have scoffed at the idea of a dream affecting Sebek so badly, but he can't help but remember the things that had happened there; how his feelings have been forever changed for Vil based on what was almost a dream, how he can't forget the way he felt after seeing his friend die.

It was beginning to feel more and more like Sebek had experienced something similar, maybe even met a different him, and something had happened between them.

Malleus stops then, turning back to face Sebek.

He stands there quietly for a bit, awkward. It's tough to know what he should do- his arms lift for a moment and he's not sure if he wants to pat Sebek's head or hold his arms or... what? It's a slow and awkward thing, but Malleus does eventually embrace Sebek, gently. In case he wants to pull away, he supposes.]

It is alright. I understand...
