There was a flood of relief as he felt Mylorah sigh, even more so when she returned the hug. Gangleri gave her a tighter squeeze as nuzzled his face against her hair a bit as he nodded in agreement. At least she could see that it was better to have him gone. He wasn't going to point it out and encourage that sort of callousness from the woman though. "You are allowed to feel however you wish about death, I won't hold any of it against you."
It was harder to answer the other half though. Gangleri's hand idly began to rub her back, the motion intended more to soothe himself than her. "He was the reason." It had been profoundly upsetting to see Mylorah trapped and frightened, and it had taken a great deal of self control to keep his interference subtle with only Fret providing a distraction to give her time to escape. He took another deep breath, another squeeze as if he was afraid she'd still end up deciding that she hated him and never wanted to see him again.
The mention of his brother though made him chuckle, head falling back to rest against the door. "I'd suggest you could muss it for him, but he might not know what to do. Then again I suppose he might. I've been wrong before about things." With Geric having a baby it was easy to assume that at least one make out session had happened, but he still didn't know any details. Hopefully his brother would finish whatever discussion he was in with the girl's father soon so that he could tell Quil something at least. "I'll go make sure he's done and tell him to clean up. You just be careful of Wally over there," he said pointing at the nearest skeleton with a notable row of missing teeth. "He's a peeping Tom."
Taking one more risk he dipped his head down to give Mylorah a quick kiss, and when she didn't slap him or run away he smiled and stepped away. "I'll send him out shortly. And after that I will make sure someone plays a good dancing song for you at the party." Perhaps not her song though, he didn't want to risk her associating it with death. After one more quick glance to make sure she wasn't going to run off, he went to go fetch his brother.
