Many and many! So many scritches and so many hugs.
The Endarkened is... weirdly okay about this story; it obviously affected him emotionally to tell it, he always showed a little of whatever his little stone self was feeling, but now that the story is over he is pretty much fine again. Maybe it all happened a very long time ago, or maybe he's exceptionally resilient by nature, or maybe his exceptionally awful childhood set a very high bar for how bad things have to get before he starts to be seriously upset about them.
