[Archer's first reaction to Waver's words is a slight frown. He does understand it well, not wanting to add to Caster's burden right now. It's also a force of habit, being a human oyster that locks everything deep within. The vessel form he's been summoned into makes it much harder but for a good reason; otherwise he'd never be more than a weapon.
Iskandar's action speaks of more than companionship, but it's neither time nor place. Someday Archer is going to ask.
Caster, on the other hand- they both share the uncanny ability to see through each other. It's what makes them such a well-balanced team at times and complete trainwreck at other. Archer despises showing weakness in any situation; Caster has gained his trust to the point where Archer doesn't mind it.
It's not that easy.]
As you wish.
[His expression changes slightly; not as closed as before. There's a subtle change in his body language, lessening his tenseness. He trusts Caster, and that is enough; the way he leans into the caress is a clear indication.
Now when he's not trying to supress it the pain increases immediately. Even with Caster's runes that dull the pain it's a lot to take in. Moreover, now that he's undoing it, it shows how he numbed nerves in his hands using Reinforcement to lessen the amount of pain sent to Waver.]
