It's not an unusual question, from either of them, but there's a different cadence to Wylan's voice. Something that suggests there's more to this question. There's a hesitancy he's not used to, and it only serves to etch a frown across his face when it's coupled with Wylan reaching up to touch his neck.

He doesn't like what this place is doing to the boy in front of him. There had always been a nervous quality to Wylan, no doubt the result of years under his father's tutorage and scorn. But this was something more, something visceral and dark.

Jesper doesn't like it at all. But he says nothing of it either.

"Do you want me to?" It's a whisper, gentle. He wants to stay, wants the assurance that comes with having Wylan close and not--But he wouldn't force it either. It's obvious Wylan has his own nightmares and scars to deal with. If he felt he needed to do that alone, well he wasn't going to argue.
