[The moment you start to maneuver both of you, he squeezes his eyes shut, and shuts his mouth tightly. He doesn't have anything left to throw up, but it sure feels like he might take another spew.
He curls his arms tightly around your neck, and hangs on, shivering until the wave passes, hissing between his chattering teeth.]
[Another jittery shiver before he mumbles into your shirt hesitantly,]
[He swallows hard.]
[He's still clinging to you, mumbling into the front of your shirt with his head at an awkward angle so his horns press against the sides of your face and his head tucks under your chin.
He's afraid and guilty, and doesn't know why. His voice cracks hoarsely.]
[He did something wrong. He just knows it, deep in his... Well. His gut. Better known as his "water", but definitely his gut. The thing that's all churned up right now, and scared.
If he knows one thing, it's that he can't take being abandoned. His fingers bite into Tavros' shoulders without meaning.]
