[He is silent what she collects herself, not wanting to intrude. He can't pretend to really understand what she's going through - he gives what he can, which is an outsider's perspective really - always - and can only be grateful that is seems to help, however much it does.

He chuckles dryly at her response.] I might permit it in private. [If only to prove that he isn't grouchy. Seriously.] For now, don't be alone. I hope this Rhys is any use.

[phaseshifter]

Oh, he is! He complains a lot and can be kind of a dou-- a butt, but most of the time he's pretty great! Especially at the not-leaving-me-on-my-own thing. I mean, he left with me and dad even though-- well, yeah, so I won't be alone any time soon. Don't fret.

[ as much as grumpires do fret, anyway

that's a word ]

[bookofnope]

I don't fret. [He sighs faintly, because he is a little, and they both know it.]

He did seem a little - how shall I put it? Fragile.

[He isn't trying to disparage Angel's friends, but he may just have pretty high standards for, oh, everything where people are concerned.]

[phaseshifter]

I think skittish works better for him! And Iunno, I think that kind of helps a little. If he gets scared of things, it makes me at least try to be a little braver. I suppose to make him feel better?

It's like having a baby brother except he's older and over a foot taller than I am. But otherwise, exactly the same.

[bookofnope]

It's amazing how much braver people can be for the sake of someone else, isn't it? He can twitch as much as he likes, if it helps you. As long as he doesn't get into his mind to try to make too sudden a transition into daring hero.

[phaseshifter]

Don't fr-- do whatever it is that you do instead of fretting! We'll both make sure that caution is a priority. Promise!

[bookofnope]

... I am fretting, aren't I? Appalling. You'll both do fine, I'm sure. Keep warm, and... [He hesitates, because it is appalling, but finally adds,] if he does return, and you wish for me to know, send a message.
