[ Some of his hesitancy is still there underneath, inexplicably woven into him from a young age, but there's a loosening of those ropes around his chest and it comes from a place of care for Molly. He wouldn't want any of the Nein to feel uncomfortable asking for his help or reassurance.
Fjord dispels the sword and the room goes dark, disorientating him as he tugs up the blankets for them to get some sleep. His arms wrap around Molly and with the tiefling pillowed on his chest there's a nice soft space between his horns where Fjord buries his face, cushioned by curls. ]
[ They're so close and Molly's skin is hot against Fjord's as they hold eachother like this. The tiefling is soon making little snoozing sounds, falling back asleep a lot easier than he thought after that shared dream.
He doesn't know what to think at all about this and what it means for them to wiggle this line between friends, but it helped. It helped a lot. Molly knows it's not going to completely heal this cracking feeling in his chest or change the frustration and anger that boils every time the half-orc says he's the same as Lucien... but in the end, Fjord's on his side. Cares for him this much, despite how short a time they've known eachother.

[ Patting Molly on the back like he did a job well done?? Fjord doesn't know. ]
Do you, ah, want to try going back to sleep?

Yeah. I'll try.

Wake me up if you need to, it's okay.
