he sets her down slowly on the floor again, staring down at her as his hand rests against her shoulder like he is trying to see that she is in one piece, and she is. he loves her very much, and he has missed her over the years that she was away for her own safety. it was good when she came back to live in the mansion, good to see her now even as he worries. yes, he will always worry about her and wouldn't let anything bad happen to her.
(and he'd do anything to keep bad things from happening to her. but of course, he doesn't worry about himself. he's the hollow man, the tin soldier.]
...months, I think. It's hard to keep track of time. Most people come and go fairly often. I left once, and then came back. I thought it... was a dream. [it didn't seem like it could have been real except now he's here again.]
