Cuddling, while not Erisi's strong suit, wasn't too bad. He felt that in a small way, he needed the physical contact of another human being right now. Of course, he'd gotten plenty of that before, but this was different. There was no actual demand in just laying on a bed with someone else. Erisi could be close, and that was good enough for him. He didn't even mind having Talian curled up against his side. If it were anyone else, or even if it was a different day, Erisi probably wouldn't be so tolerant of it. He'd make up some sort of excuse a few minutes after someone snuggled up to him, and they likely wouldn't see his face for another sevenday. He hated the idea of fostering some sort of romantic relationship. Perhaps he was comfortable with Talian because he knew Talian was well aware of his habits, and his disinclination to like anybody that much.
"Nothing's wrong with you. It's this place," Erisi replied reasonably. He imagined that if Talian weren't here, he'd be much happier back at home. With a little snort, Erisi tucked some of his hair behind his ear, an amused smile flickering briefly across his face. "It's great to know that I decided to befriend the insane Talian, rather than the normal one." There was an exaggerated roll of his blue eyes, though he squeezed Talian's shoulder to let the man know that he was just joking around. Sometimes he expected those mild jokes to go right over his friend's head.
"Ah, I don't think I'm really sure what I'm saying either. I guess I'm saying that I'm available, if you want to, and that I'm available because I want to be." Erisi wasn't sure that he hadn't pressed Talian in some way. He had gotten caught up in the moment, and couldn't properly dissuade Talian if he had wanted to. He wasn't supposed to take advantage of one of his very few friends like that... but, it had happened. He really couldn't take it back now, and he certainly didn't genuinely want to. The kiss pressed to his lips was a pleasant surprise, and with a soft hum, he provided Talian with a confident kiss in return.
Erisi really was very accommodating, after all.
