[He appreciates it. Really, he does. He's just getting ready to book it out to Ache via lamp friends, to go take his anger and frustration out on some monsters.
But a hug is good, too. As soon as he's pulled into it Fern stops, then practically collapses into it, sniffling and clinging back.]
[He can feel the horrible, painful feelings roiling around in Fern's head and tries to send calming, soothing thoughts of his own. This is why they bonded, after all. To help each other through this- he just hopes it helps. It's hard to think calmly when he's so damn angry at what Maul has done.]
Of course, I had to. I'm not going to stand back at let him talk to you like that. I'm- I'm not gonna let him or anyone hurt you like that if I can help it. [His arms tighten around Fern, protective, angry. ] He's lucky it was over the network, if he'd done it in person I probably would have swung at him.
[And he would have swiftly got his ass handed to him for the trouble, but he doesn't care. It would have been worth it. ]
[It's so, so much easier believing in Varian than it is believing in himself, so he gives his boyfriend a soft nod, just trying to let himself soak up all the comforting thoughts. They can go ahead and drown out all the negative ones in his own head, thank you.
He can't help grinning a little bit at that idea, Varian trying to punch out Maul. He would've died, so it's a good thing it was over the network, though he doesn't say that out loud. No way, it means a lot to him that he would have done that, so instead he leans in to lightly kiss him.]
[That's what he's here for! Bad thought removal process!
Oh, well, if he's gonna get a kiss out of it! Varian returns it, chuckling lightly against his boyfriend's lips. He's still pretty damn mad, but this is helping.]
I'm pretty sure he would have turned me to paste if I tried, but I appreciate the faith in me.
Fern is very pointedly not going to think about the reality of that hypothetical situation, because it'll just make him mad and upset again, and he really does want to feel better.]
I'll always have faith in you. [His smile softens a little.] Thanks, I really needed this. It - it helps, knowing I've got you to remind me I got some good qualities.

I'm not like him! He's wrong!

You're nothing like him, he's a liar. You're- you're better than he could ever hope to be in a billion lifetimes.
[His tone is firm, resolute, with fury bubbling just below the surface. ]
I yelled at him for it, this is the last straw. I'm done. He- he had no right to talk to you like that.
no subject
You're right. You're right, you're right... [He keeps on mumbling that, trying to force the repetition through his head to help calm himself down.]
Th... thanks. You didn't have to, but - but I'm glad you did. It means a lot.

I'm always gonna be here to do that for you. You have the best qualities and I will remind you about that every day if you need it.
