What is unusual, when Sheogorath is involved? With him, there's very little that could be considered unheard-of behavior. That being said, sometimes he does things that seem more meant to draw attention than others. For example, right now, he's sitting in the middle of the atrium, cross-legged, with a plate sitting in front of him. Sitting on the plate, in turn, is a picture of a cupcake, scribbled with ballpoint pen on the back of a receipt from a Bric-a-Brac. He's muttering to himself, frequently shifting into different voices, as if he's trying to fill the role of an entire room.

It catches her off guard, but she finds her arms returning it, tightly wrapping around him. She has to breathe in, breathe out - the emotions rising in her are too much, too much, straining at the bars of her ribcage, and impulse has her bowing her head, burying it in his shoulder and shutting her eyes to just breathe him in.

It is the feeling of being wrapped in a heavy blanket after walking through the snow, hot drink in hand. The painful, warm tingling in fingertips as they remember how to be dexterous again. Comfort extended to the weary.

"Thank you," he whispers, not yet pulling away. There's so much in those two words.

And then he says another three.

Her response is also three words, barely breathed and more felt in a heartbeat, for the great and terrible fear that it would all be ripped away, that something would rise up and claw its way from her skin. And yet, and yet, even if it hurts hurts hurts, she feels it. Breathes, trying to be steady.

(Invisible, unknown to her, in the darkest depths, sodden with guilt - a little girl cries and cries until she forgets how to do it anymore.)

For one moment, at least, she forgets to think about what is and isn't deserved. She simply feels all that she does, and lets it take up space. So much fear. But so much more than that.
