[oh god don't cry. oh god please don't cry. if there's one thing he can't handle it's kind, good people crying. even if it's happy tears. he simply just freezes and doesn't know what to do other than maybe awkwardly pat them on the back, shoulder, or head.
luckily, though, the tears don't spill over. but she does grasp his hand and despite himself he gives a squeeze in return. he doesn't know what the fuck he did to make her smile like that, but regardless he's glad he did because her smile definitely lifts his mood. kind people are truly a different breed, man. his smiles only inspire trepidation.
eventually she'll run into sylvain and feel that solidarity one feels only with people from the same world. but for now, he's happy to be the only contact in her contact list and keep her company all the same.
a shake of his head. he figures there's no arguing with her whether she "owes" him in any way, so he'll just accept it. no use fighting an uphill battle.]

[he tugs their clasped hands and nods his head toward some food stalls. he'll simply have to watch after her for the time being until those "lifeguards" all fuck off. but as he walks along with her, probably listening to her chattering away, he figures it might not be the worst way to spend his time after all.]
