[Even though he knows Lyney's talking about the rest of the House of the Hearth, Heizou's all too familiar with what he's saying. He's suffered from his own set of recurring nightmares over the years, from that night with his friend to past cases gone wrong. He likes to think he's gotten better at recovering from them, or at least shaking them from his waking thoughts... but the fact remains that they will always be there, waiting at the back of his mind.
So he understands this fear, and as Lyney's voice gets smaller Heizou gives him a quick, comforting little squeeze.]
You were both just children, Lyney... There's nothing wrong with being scared...
[He wants to ask more, so he can better understand what happened. What it is that haunts Lyney like this. But he'll wait until the other is ready to continue. And until then he'll just squeeze his shoulders and kiss and pet his hair.]
