[Scott lightly laughs at the 'leader' comment, the sound genuine but fragile, like it wouldn't take much for him to crumble against her. It's relieving that he's still able to do that after everything, like Phoenix didn't permanently take something from him. Can he say that he's stronger than her? It's nice to think so.]
We can stay here for just a while longer. I'll keep track for us.
[He won't keep track at all, just wanting to stay in this position with her for as long as possible or for as long as she wants. Even knowing her immeasurable strength, Scott can tell she's affected and emotional too in her own subtle way. He's relied on her a lot and just in the past hour, so he hopes that she can take back some of his energy and strength in return. He brushes a thumb past the corner of her eyes, gently comforting and yet encouraging, as if silently telling her that's okay if she cries.]
...You know I'll always wait for you until you want to talk about things.
