...and that, paired with his embarrassment....Well, it was a relief he hadn't curled up in a ball (on the spot!) and cried. It could've happened. It had before. At home one time....after Gage had planted things in his room; laughing in his stupid way...with his stupid lewd jokes...and his stupid face.

A tear tracked down Gabriel cheek.

...and CB was touching him...Helping and supporting his weight. He was so uncomfortable...no matter if he DID like her. Yes, he did. Whatever....Not like he'd ever do anything about it. Truth of the matter was the he was just too....anxious...and scared. Terrified, really. CB was....brilliant....but Gabe couldn't handle things. Closeness. It was a fight to even speak with her at times...with his personal space intact.

With her question, Gabe just shook his head; another tear falling.
Moving closer to the bench, Coral attempted to seat the boy, struggling a little to do it slowly and gently, but she managed it by allowing their sides to touch completely, grabbing him a little tighter, and sitting in the same way she wanted to help him sit. Once he was seated though, she flashed him a shy smile with a little hint of red gracing her cheeks before sliding down the bench a little ways to give him some room. Just like always.

Now that he was situated and she was at the usual distance, she was free to think. Especially about what was courteous or expected of her as the escort. She was kind of tempted to go.... But she couldn't. Not until she knew he was okay and that the healer was going to take good care of him even if that meant missing a good portion of her second favorite class. She took peeks at him as they sat in silence, waiting.

She fidgeted a little before her eyes lifted to him and lingered for a little while; quickly shying away at any sign of movement from the boy. ".... Can I get you anything? Maybe water or something? I could look around..."
