With that to submerse himself in, fears can't reach up out of the depths to choke him. Using Miles to protect himself from his own weaknesses, trusting that he won't mind.
It takes a few long moments of this for him to settle, even so, the tension easing gradually downward to something more comfortable. As it happens, the first wisps of real, formed love start to trickle over, full and thick and golden as honey. What he's been hiding all this time.]
