Chris doesn't turn to look at him, but he does lean close to kiss whatever part of Hawke is nearest his lips, his tone is gentle and low when he answers. "You've nothing to apologize for. You were perfect. You did exactly what you were supposed to, what you needed to, you let go and let me catch you, now let me hold you while you find the pieces again. I'll help you look if you need it."

He kisses Hawke again and pulls his grip a little tighter, fingers working some magic into Hawke's hair and what of his skin he can reach to try and take the tacky feeling from him before it settles in. "It's alright that you needed this, it's good that you let it happen. You're not some slut spreading your legs for me, you're one of my closest friends who needed help and I am and always will be willing and wanting to offer it. You're a good man and I am very thankful to have you back here with me, even if it's hard for you."
