Things like what? War? Seeing people die in front of you? Crying because of it?
[Teddy lets out a small sigh as he wraps an arm around her shoulder to pull her to him again. It's definitely okay for her to lean on him; in fact, he's encouraging it. It's tempting to relate, to say that people died on his watch too... but he knows she'd try to turn it around and talk him through it instead, and right now, this isn't about him.]
It's okay to cry. God knows I'm bad at remembering it, too. Doctors can cry, healers can cry. It's a good way to let everyone else know they're not... desensitized or whatever to it. And themselves, too.
Most of all? It's okay to cry in front of me. I'm not gonna think less of you just because you showed me something that makes you feel... I don't know, inadequate. Because you're definitely adequate, and more than that, to me.
