I am really offering. [Even or especially in the face of the concerns he feels nibbling about the edge of their Bond, insistent and demanding.
He lifts his other hand to lay over L's, briefly, in reassurance. Let what comes of this, come. He'd adapted to any number of roommates with any variety of habits in his time in the Circle; it is always, always easier to overlook idiosyncrasies and grow around the strains of shared space with those he loves.
They will work this out. He has absolute confidence in that.]
You need this and I can give it.
[Now that he has a plan for action, he's suspended between itching to move and loathing the moment he's got to let go of his Bonded's hand, even if it's only temporary. The sounds of their waiter's return are a relief, ending the conflict; Myr gives L's fingers a final squeeze and rises to take up his staff, holding out an arm for the bags.] Thank you--I'll take those, if you'd be so kind...
[Hopefully the inn--and whatever healer they might find--aren't so far their food will get entirely cold before they're back to the cottage.]
