[ A small smile tilts his lips. He didn't mean it like that and he knows she knows, though it's true he hasn't really thought of anybody except Ciri for weeks. Nothing mattered once she was gone. In a way, parts of him are still there. As though it's been only a day since he found her again even if he knows they were never separated here.
He squeezes Julie's hand. ] You won't lose me, either.
[ She's so wrapped up in the Singularity, he isn't sure she could ever be taken out of this sphere, but his foothold feels especially tenuous after last night. He doesn't want to abandon her. She'd taken it hard when Lloyd disappeared, and though he's aware it isn't the same—they don't share a history before Abraxas—it's just...he promised to be there when she needs him. And he hates the thought that he might not be because of something so fucking far out of his control.
It's not a cloud he wants to hang over them. So he kisses her, eyes fluttering shut for a moment, and keeps her close. ]
