Well, if she wants to snuggle I won't argue with her about it.  "Okay.  C'mere, have you eaten since you got out of your dungeon?"

"Don't you worry about me, Timothy Delgado.  Shut up and put your arms around me."  No kissing today.  His tongue...I..I just can't right now.  In his arms, she shuddered a little in remembered disgust and terror-lensed-through-fury.

Blissfully unaware of where his partner's thoughts were leading her, Tim obeys his partner.  His arms snake around her, he lifts her up, and drops them both down onto a giant floor-pillow.

Several hours later, he's been zeroed out to her satisfaction.  There'll be Hell to pay later.  But Tim's survived the day, and learned a valuable lesson about not being a moron rationing the use of his power.

It was a close call, but Carol saved his life again and he just needs to update his checklist until he internalizes the habits he needs to be a successful healer during rest periods.  And it was a little scary for everyone except for him, but everything's fine now, right?
