[It's so warm. He cannot feel the lingering chill of the dark anymore.
The extinguished flame has nothing to do with the flood of comforting warmth he feels as she clings to him. Her support is enough for him to find his footing and steady himself on his good leg while the other takes a bit of time to let blood start flowing back through. She kept him upright, even when he felt like he was going down-- as she always has. There are no proper words for his gratitude or the happiness he feels having her at his side.
With a soft, breathless laugh he wraps his arms around her and embraces her tightly.
Rather than admit what she already knows-- that it wasn't intentional-- he makes an effort to try making a joke of it instead. Maybe it could help hide at least a little of his own sheepishness.]
