Rust be damned. Yuri has clothes on that covers all of her except her head, so she stops wiping the blood off for the moment and hugs Blade very tightly despite how much he trembles. She's also prepared for backlash for her actions. ]
... Just like me, you also have the right to choose.
[ Blade doesn't lash out at her, letting her hug him; the sensation strange and foreign, like the blurring of his gaze in front of him. Even in his patchwork memories, he never has let anyone done that to him, he's sure. Finally, he just breaks down, the weight of everything that's happened being too much to do otherwise.
He remembers once someone asking if he was a broken blade. Yes...that's what he is. ]
I'll...
[ Blade's eyes squeeze shut. Don't let anyone take that away from you.
It sounds like an order. But it's more of a plea, isn't it? He can't summon up the strength to respond. He feels himself slump a bit, eyes still closed, letting himself be held instead for a little longer. ]
[ She keeps Blade in the hug and gently pats his back in a place where he isn't wounded (hopefully). It's a new side of Blade that Yuri gets to see, and she knows that she should treat it very seriously. This is important to him—it's his life. She stays like this as long as Blade wants to. ]
[ His back is actually a bit of a minefield, because he definitely got messed up there pretty bad (me like about to downplay it but no Blade had a real bad time), but towards the top might be easier for her to manage, right at shoulder level, where there should be some leeway.
Anyway, Blade will let her stay like this for even a bit more longer because he doubts he'll experience this type of thing again, and even be in a space to...welcome it, as it were. Not to mention, he's trying to regain his general sensibilities.
But after a bit, he will raise his one gloved hand to rest against her clothed back for a moment, to return it just with one hand, before letting it drop. ]
...You didn't need to do that.
[ He doesn't sound angry, because he isn't. Far from it. He won't forget the kindness. ]
[ Blade thought he might even feel embarrassed about it. But, he doesn't. It's a lie to say he feels fully settled; though now he feels...different. He can't put a word on it. Just, not terrible, maybe? ]
I will not forget what you have done.
I know that I also can't...occupy your time forever like this. I imagine you have other places to be.

[ She says very quietly. ]
So... don't let anyone take that away from you.
