“don’t I know it.” He thinks, if it was any other person the possibility would’ve been higher but astoria was, is, a tough act to follow and he found it out the hard way. “I appreciate it.” He tightens his embrace taking the last of their nearness to heart.

“I promise I have no other intentions than to just clear the air. We still have two months to work together and I rather spend in peace. Avoiding one another is not an option.” They intersect in many aspects, it is best if they had an agreement.

his stares lingers, just as much as their hands are clasp together. the laughter does not deter him, if anything Theo understand the reasoning behind it. he does stand simply to seat yer her side, finally letting go of her hand. “You don’t need to explain yourself, it happens.”

“all things considered I think it could have been worse.” After a few seconds of letting the silence linger, he inhales deeply. “we don’t have to talk, I just want to make sure you’re well, that’s all.”

Releasing a short breath himself, Theo waits until she is ready, until she is able to open her eyes and look at him.

“that’s alright.” he breathes in, calmly and gently squeezing her hand in his. “just breath, ground yourself in the room here with me.”

it takes him two seconds to recognized what was happening so he kneels before her, offering up his hand at her to take if she needs and wishes to. “look at me.” he says gently, looking at her face.
