[Heedless of the drool and the possibility of her getting sick, Atem wraps arms around her shoulders properly and pulls her into a hug, one knee on the ground for stability. Between him running hot as a fire-type and wings to keep the wind away, it'll be much warmer. He'll hold her as close as she wants, making sure the Puzzle's out of the way, that its edges don't add any more pain to this.]
I know. It's really scary...
[He knows how scary it is.]
...but I won't leave. I promise. I'll be with you the whole time.
[He starts to pet the top of her head lightly, but it's more the movement of someone comforting a child than petting an animal. Atem remembers what had made him feel better, what kinds of things get him through his own deaths...]
You'll be okay when it's over, Ray. It's not going to hurt like this forever.
When you're better...let's do something fun, okay?
