It's grounding, and his features are soft and calm as he bows his head, closing his eyes and giving himself a moment to relax, to breathe in and come down from the rush of memories and the strength of his heart feeling too thick and heavy in his chest.

Cole is a fighter, strong and brave behind the careful workings of his mind, someone that wants to help and sees and breathes the darkness that settles inside him. Solas bows his head, closing his eyes, wondering what he did to deserve to have this marvellous spirit in his life, how he could possibly earn the affection Cole has for him.
It's hard to speak, but he manages all the same. ]
