[ It happens in a snap--Cole is dextrous, always has been, always ready, but the place and that feeling had overwhelmed him. So much so that Dorian has to pull him back, and Cole almost loses his footing, the rogue completely taken off guard.
It's good Dorian's here, Cole thinks. He's not alone. Dorian is a friend, Cole has discovered--Dorian is like family, or what he imagines a family is supposed to be. Even as the other holds away from the chasm, there's a strange part of Cole that's desperate to climb back over, to go to the other side. Maybe that will block everything out, that strange feeling of dread. ]
Thank you. [ It's genuine, as Cole glances over to where Dorian's mentioned, and then over at his friend. A thought occurs to him as he starts moving, face hidden beneath unkempt bangs. ]
