[Putting his arms around Tieria seemed like the natural thing to do, the best way Lockon had of offering comfort, and so he hugged the younger man, holding him close and letting him cry on Lockon's shirt as he tried to work out what Tieria meant by that.
And then it clicked. And Lockon's stomach felt full of lead. Poor Tieria, it must have been really bad up there, and Lockon's...well, it was his death as far as they knew...must have been preying on his mind, for him to hallucinate like that. He looked down at the crying man in his arms and rubbed his shoulder, comfortingly.]
It's kind of the other way around. You're waiting for me here when I woke up, instead. I don't know what you saw, Tieria, but I'm not dead. I'm right here.
