[ He didn't know what he was expecting Till to say or do, but that definitely wasn't it. The pushing and shoving was expected. The man in his arms was always full of fight. Till was known for his nature and his attitude. Ivan had tried to do what he could on his side to settle him and try to make his life easier, but it was an endeavor quickly let go of.
When he froze and refused to look at him, it twisted in his stomach something ugly. Logically, he understood why Till wasn't looking at him. He could imagine their last time seeing each other was still firm in his mind. As selfish as it was, Ivan was glad at least something of him stuck with Till.
The words were hurtful, but not in the sharp way Till's words could usually cut. So Ivan waits in silent, looking at the man in his arms until their eyes could meet. Ivan's face was as blank, robbed of any sorrow or mirth he could show for their reunion, a far more genuine expression for the sake of this impossibility. ]
If you do want me to put you down and leave, I'll go, but it will be slowly because these shoes are weird. Costuming has never given me things like this before.
[ Before Till could answer, Ivan does move to lower Till to the ground once again, letting him go once he was sure he would stand on his feet without falling.
He couldn't even feint surprise at Till rejection of his presence. It made sense. Ivan did pull a few inconceivably dumb stunts in order to make sure Till lived. Was this not just an evolution to what he deserved? It always happened this way. ]
