If Carl weren't so adamant about making sure it's real for both of them, he'd feel a little more guilty about the way Coil jolts against him as he hugs his friend like it's the last time he'll ever see him. In a place like this, it's hard to know when the last time will be and he's choosing to be just a little selfish. Normally, he'd pay attention to somebody's body language and relent.. but it's Coil and it's so goddamn lonely on the ship without him.
He's got an apology on the tip of his tongue when he feels Coil latch on and his head hitting his shoulder. Carl doesn't even need to think about it before he's tipping his own head so they can press together.
Now that they're here, holding onto each other hard enough that neither could disappear, he can feel all the anxiety and fight bleed out of his body. It doesn't really matter what they have to go through so long as it's together- and it's a place that they know pretty well. The problem will just be leaving the Marsiva. Not really something he gives a shit about right now.
"'s okay, I'm here now." It's something his dad has said to him more times than he can count and it always made him feel safe. Not that Coil needs saving or protecting, he's one of the most capable people he's ever met... but sometimes people need to hear it. He's tired of not saying what needs to be heard and he's never been dishonest with Coil.
"Missed you." Even as he says it, it sounds clingy and lame, but it's true. He doesn't know how much time has actually passed since he saw his best friend, but it definitely feels like too long.
