[ He's... pretty damn awful! But it's not like John doesn't appreciate it, and the closeness here is sort of a go ahead, a sign that Dave is trying to comfort him. So John doesn't think twice about wrapping his arms around Dave's chest and burying his face into his shoulder. And normally even for a guy like John this sort of behavior wouldn't exactly be acceptable but... maybe just this once he can be allowed an exception. After everyone he's lost, and everything he's had to go through, this was not a blow he was expecting to receive. ]
