[Daqiang's occasional disgruntled glare shot at him over the top of Orchid's head is something that Cid will simply have to weather for the time being. But he otherwise seemed fine in allowing Orchid to walk between the two of them. Protected on both sides despite how ready he was to grab the fairy and pull her against his side at a moment's notice.
Though he remained silent, allowing Orchid to speak with Cid without his own interruption (at least for now), his presence was noticeable in the distinct decrease of the heat around both Orchid and Cid. Taking it into himself now that he was back in his own body and could do something to keep her from wilting from continued exposure. It had been disturbingly uncomfortable to feel that kind of heat while in her body. He knew what it must feel like to her.]
