There's still the slight flinch when Magne touches him but the tenseness doesn't last. It's been a while since he's actually let someone touch him in a gentle manner like this, in fact it hasn't been since Magne was alive. His skin feels warm where her hand is resting but not the unbearable heat of his flames, just a soft warmth of someone else. Someone who actually seems to care about him.

"Y-yeah..." He has to clear his throat. There are so many things he wants to tell her but right now all those things are devastating. They are things that would make her sad, things that would have her worrying over people that she can't help. "I won't lie....it's...it's not been good, Mag. I don't wanna get into it here but..." He trails off but looks p at her with a serious look in his eyes.

"You aren't gonna like a lot of what I have to tell you about."
