[There's another one of those long, quiet moments, where Grey finds he's the one who has to try not to fidget. When Manabu begins to shift Grey tenses, holding himself as still as he can while Manabu turns. He only relaxes again when their eyes meet and Manabu says his piece.
Grey swallows, and nods slightly. He's not sure if what Manabu says is entirely true- surely Manabu's comrades in the SDF are looking for him, and Manabu's determined enough that he very well might have found an opportunity to escape on his own eventually. Just as Grey had.
But who knows how long that would have taken? Perhaps Grey can be proud of himself for this, for his role in saving Manabu.
Grey raises his hand and sets it gently on Manabu's cheek, stroking his fingers across the warm skin. Any words he can come up with feel inadequate as a response, so he prays this will communicate something of his feelings.]
