[That gets another kiss, because it really is difficult to put into words how much he loves to see her comfortable in her own skin. He doesn't mind if she reads his thoughts (he encourages it, most of the time), because he has nothing he needs to hide from her; he's not afraid of her energy manipulation abilities because it would take a very specific application of that power to hurt him, and he trusts her not to. So of course he wants to see her grounded in herself. She's even more beautiful that way.]
I'd like that.
[He closes his eyes and takes her hand to show he's ready. Inside, it's a swirl of strong emotions - relief to see her safe, a fierce joy that he gets to spend time with her again, reinforced by their close physical contact, regret that it can't be for longer but accepting that this is far, far better than nothing at all. And under it is a yearning for more--more closeness physically, more smiles from Wanda, the desire to make her forget about everything but him so she can be free of all concern, even if it's only for a short time.
It's a mess indeed. Hopefully she can make some sense of it.]
