Khadgar had lived a man's life much faster than perhaps he should've, but that was what the path for him was. Just as Medivh's path had left him cynical, Khadgar's had left him optimistic for the world they lived on.
His arms tightened around Medivh as the breath rattled the mage's frame, then gripped more firmly as the older man had begun trembling. He was not sure what else he could do beyond hold him there and try to use this simple hug as a way to calm him down. The hand that grasped his arms made him take his own sharp inhale before he slowly began to release Medivh. With his arms loosened enough, he slowly turned the Magus to face him.
Blue eyes were wrought with despair and worry, but he only kept his gaze to Medivh's for a short while before he stepped back in and this time, burrowed his face against Medivh's collar bone, hugging him much more than he had from behind. This was better, so much better for Khadgar's mind.
"Then you know that I would not purposely steer you wrong," he finally said, voice soft and low, though muffled by how tightly Khadgar pressed his face against Medivh's chest.
