Abby's lip curls a little. It isn't humourous, but rueful. The scenario he's describing has already happened to her, and she can attest to it hurting. Thedas took Lev away from her when she was trying so very hard to keep him. She wanted to learn how to be somebody he could count on and that opportunity is gone, forever. The injustice of it sits on her chest, like a weight pressing the air out of her lungs. It's so terrible, and unfair.

"If it does fall apart, it won't be because of you." She's twisting her hands together, her gaze momentarily flickering to him. His expression is unfathomable to her, but she can guess at the tangle inside of him. "So all you can really do about that is stay with her." Present, and there, not lost to what ifs. Easier said than done, but Abby believes in him. He's stronger than he thinks he is.

"She knows that you care, you know that she cares. If something does happen, you'll fight like hell to keep it."

Her arm nudges up against him, a tiny bit of affection, "I'm not gonna say it'll be fine and nothing will ever go wrong, cuz I don't wanna jinx it." A slight huff, before she adds, "But if it does, I'm here for you, you know. You won't have to deal with it by yourself."
