That need to mark and express whatever deeply overwhelming feeling had risen in him in the moment passes and he pulls away in time for Hawke to nuzzle in close. Chris' mind clicks back into place and his hand comes up to cup Hawke's cheek as the cleric turns to kiss the other side of Wolfe's face.
"I've got you, lovely, just one second more." He unlatches the collar from around Hawke's throat and leaves it to hang there as his attention shifts to the bindings themselves. The knife he'd kept nearby makes quick work of the ropes at key points to have them fall away. He brushes them back from Hawke's skin to fix later and sets the knife aside so he can dedicate his hands to working the muscles of his friend's legs as he stretches the limbs out on either side of him. Hawke's arms receive similar treatment as Chris works the blood back into them.
"Here you, handsome, you were so perfect, Wolfe, you did wonderfully. I've got you now, you're safe. I'm going to set your limbs to rest and then hold you for a moment. Then we're going to get some water into you and clean up, alright? All you need to do is lie here for me."
