[Awkward for Eustace perhaps, for Maedhros it is a problem of a entirely different matter. He's usualy good at putting it out of his mind and pretend it did not bother him. But at times like these, when he felt unbalanced and disturbe, the memories of the pain and humiliation of his captivity plauged him until he could barely stand the feeling of anothers hand upon him.
But he could even less stand the uncertainty of the situation, so he must steel himself for it. And perhaps it is as the other says and the hand is not truly there at all?
He nods quietly. All his concentration on keeping his body still and rigid, it would not do to repay Eustace's kindness by stricking him on instinct.
A little, perhaps? Like the hand is only a halfway substantial thing.]
