Cheng didn't say a word as he looked over the scene, his heart in his throat. Dropping his bag as he kept walking forward, his eyes on Riley and then back to Will. Without any preamble or hesitation, he enfolded Will in his arms, sighing heavily as he kept him in his embrace.

He still doesn't know what happened. But he knew the other Fae breathed, so that was something. That didn't matter right now, only that Will was aware that he was here. He couldn't make it better but he might be able to make it easier to endure.
