[ He's so gentle, so careful, that Sharon's heart swells with both adoration and sorrow. In his normal form, it's so easy to wrap him up in her arms and damn near cradle him but now she can't even hold him. His other hand hovers and bumps her and it's hard for her brain to comprehend that this whole being is Falco; that he could hurt her with a flick of the wrist. She wraps her arms around him, where she can, and squeezes.

She looks him in his eyes, so large and so full of emotion that there's no doubt that it's Falco in there, and smiles at him. ] It's okay, Falco. I know you're scared to hurt me and it's okay. You don't have to be so careful but if you're scared, you don't have to hug me back. I'll just hug you enough for the both of us.
