Ah- no, I didn't... [He shifts a bit, uncomfortable about bringing it up again, but wanting to be honest and not give her the wrong idea.] That's just... what Era said. The "fixing" thing, about herself. It didn't sit right with me either.
[He's a mess, he knows that much, but he doesn't want to lean on the idea that he's broken in some way. And he doesn't see how that's a healthy way for her to think of herself either. One more thing that bothered him about their conversation and her method of treating her own issues. He doesn't want that for himself, he doesn't want to think of this as "fixing" himself. You don't fix people. You fix tools, you fix weapons. Whatever she might claim, they aren't either.
He slips his hand down between them to find hers again now that it's free, winding their fingers together.]
I'd like it... if you came with me. You don't have to stay or anything, just- [He glances down.] Get me through the door, I guess.
[It wouldn't be the first time he'd be tempted to run away from something just to pretend he's stronger than he is.]
