[ Fjord is always low-key touch-starved, even if he doesn't need it. It happened some time after he joined the Nein and everyone was forced to share cramped tavern rooms, falling asleep with a knee in his back or a limb thrown over him, waking up the same way. He's accustomed to casual touch between them all, it's safe in a way it never was growing up at the orphanage. Holding Caduceus's hand is only stressful if he overthinks it (or if a little shit like Nott makes a big deal out of it), otherwise he's happy to hold on and share a warm glow through their connection.

He trusts him like family, so. ]
