[Listen, he's not very good at this whole comforting thing. He's never had to do it before? That he can remember, anyway. He lets out a quiet, strangled upset noise when she starts to cry more, just kind of patting the air vaguely with his hands. Stop that? Stop cry? Dumps No More Tears over her head shhhh!!!]
N-no, that's not-!
[Ah, no, a hug. Whatever he was expecting from her, it certainly wasn't that. Normally he'd be a little awkward about a sudden embrace, but fuck, as soon as he realizes what she's doing, he wraps his arms tightly around her to hold her close. Maybe a little more tightly than he strictly should, but it's only for her benefit. 100% to comfort her. Not to help him even a little.]
You can't think like that... [And if he sounds like he's holding back his own tears, that's definitely wrong.] As long as we keep trying our best... we'll get through. We can't give up here.
