[imagine i just say he doesn't peer into the chasm because he's too busy idiot sandwiching arthur's face
No, he'll look, and fortunately (or unfortunately??) he doesn't have any such instincts that would tell him to not just jump into a fucking monster chasm fire. With the monsters on their way up, he doesn't want to delay things any more than necessary...
All the same, he wants to make sure that Arthur is the one to make this most important step. He moves to the edge, holding a hand out.]
I'm sorry. I know that it hurts and it's really hard and lonely... But I'll hold your hand, okay? I won't let go until you're wide awake. Are you ready?
[Into the fire they go! As Dahut will feel, the flames only lick gently at Arthur's (and Opal's) skin, warming him like an embrace rather than burning him.
