Draiss grinned, and rested his forehead agaisnt hers, not talking, just relaxing, all he could do. All he could offer. Depressing as it was but no matter how hard he tried, all he seemed to do was make things worse, or just kept them steady, at best for the people he really cared about. He sighed again, pressing closer, holding her close, all he seemed able to do without somehow screwing things up further, and simply relaxed, letting it all go, though his defenses stayed. Those were never released, no matter what was going on. His mental hell was his alone to suffer, and he would rather die before he dragged another down with him. He let go a bit more, and then did something he totally wasn't expecting. He passed out, exhaustion suddenly swarming up and sinking its claws deep, and dragging him down with nary a protest or ripple, so fast its assault was.
