River hugged him tightly, burying her face in his shoulder. "Thank you." She murmured. Her heart beat began to go down, as it had been jumping from shock and pain.(That’s fine I’m not judging XD)
Xylo got up, albeit slowly. Her smiled gave him comfort even though he knew it had been somewhat forced. River was clearly still affected by all of this, and he had to continue to be by her side. With a compassionate look, he embraced, stroking her hair in efforts to comfort her furthermore.
