( it's not a real hand hold, nor probably the most logical course of action for him to track. but all that matters is razor gives over his hand, and clarke offers a brief squeeze of his fingers (a flat falling attempt at comfort, maybe) before turning his hand over in her grip. two fingers from her other hand come up, press tightly at the pulse point at the base of his palm, and then...

You're going to be okay. Just keep breathing through your nose.
