Chris smiles gently. "Whether Max and I are close is probably going to be up to him. I'd rather not push. But you don't have to ask me to be nice to him... I'd do that anyway."
Truth be told, if Chris knew that their petting of Erik's hair was so welcome, they'd probably never stop. There's also an urge to curl around him protectively, even if human bodies can't quite do that.
As it is, they kiss Erik again -- on the lips, chastely -- and say, "I think you need some quiet after all this."
Quiet, or support. Chris loops an arm with Erik and walks with him for a short time. Might be that Erik finds someone safe to speak to (River? another friend?) or just that he eventually wanders away from the party entirely. Whichever it is, Chris will let him go then. But until it happens, Chris keeps a hand on Erik's arm to remind him of their presence.
