[Ben draws a breath as if to say something else, but when he reaches for the words, he finds to his pleasant surprise that everything has already been said. He exhales slowly, quietly, and sets his chin back down on his knees, content.
It's a strange feeling, one he's only just become accustomed to knowing with any kind of regularity or presence of mind; he used to feel it, when he was closest to the Lady. When Zack came back and things were good between them, as rarely as that happened. It's good, now, to know he can relax into it. That he can stay.
So he says nothing further, and he doesn't move except to breathe, and merely enjoys the company of his best friend and a peaceful, beautiful place in which to do so.]
