Even more underrated form of intimacy:
Feeling like you are suffocating in your armor and their hands being the ones to free you from the depths of your despair. Their hands being the reason you can breathe again. Their hands pulling the weight of the world off your shoulders and freeing you from your prison and wiping away the tears. Cleaning your face and giving you the chance to truly rest.
Your work is done. It was foul and soul crushing, but it is done. Rest now. I've got it.
Underrated form of intimacy:
The quiet discussion and good-luck affirmations between you and the person helping you don your armor. The comfort of knowing that the straps and buckles are perfectly secure, because the person who did them up loves you more than words can say.
#The ritual of donning and doffing armor is sacred to me#Like fuck all other religious rites that is purest love right there#I am normal about armor#so normal#The way taking off armor signifies a soldier no longer being a machine of war but instead a person does not do things to me cosmically#why do you ask#Anyways#this post is Wynleth coded#And also Marius coded from Edge of Midnight#And all other tortured Paladins with strained relationships with their duty#Kiss your local paladin for me
