There's no response to that. At least, nothing verbal. There's a wordless shudder that runs through Maximus, a subtle sag, and the raising of a hand - just to rest it on Rung's form. It's not quite clutching him, but it does take a hold, as if trying to ensure Rung will stay.

He needs this, if just for a few moments. Even if he'll never admit it aloud.
