He offers a nod, then stretches out his own fist to bump it against hers. It's a source of comfort for both of them, he imagines. When first he'd done this, it was to let her know that he wouldn't abandon her, even as the light threatened to tear her apart from the inside and it felt as if all was lost.
Come to think of it, there is some concern that he isn't where he "should" be now. Could that terrible light sickness return without him there to bear some of the brunt? Surely not...
