Shrugging the shoulder of the arm that wasn't touching her, he snorted. "I don't know that you can help me when I'm down. Sometimes the only thing that helps with that is time."
Sighing, he looked down at the ground again. "Distract me, I guess. Make me practice art, drag me to the archives, whatever. The same things I force you to do when you get too much in your head." His lips twitched into something that wasn't quite a smile, but close kin to it.
Jerking his head back in the direction they'd come from, he arched an eyebrow. "As much as I'd love to continue having this heart to heart, I'm not sure a place where one wrong step plunges you into a tar pit is the best place for it. Besides, Ludo is probably getting ready to do its thing." He started to descend the tree, but wouldn't leave it entirely unless he saw her following.

this heart will start a riot in me
