"Yeah..." Birkin returned the hug and forced himself to smile. "Yeah, I'll take care of you." Not like he knew how to do that very well either, he thought bitterly. "Speaking of, I should really probably clean that blood off your face."
He slowly, carefully rose to his feet, grabbing Stein by the hand. "If it's alright with you, I want to hear more about what happened. It's fine if you don't want to tell me though. I'd completely understand." Whatever the hell happened, it obviously wasn't good, but Birkin was hoping there was something he could learn from the details that would help him figure out how to get Stein back to relative-normalcy.
