"Stop moving so much please." Every time she shuffles, she lets out some kind of pained noise and a grimace. He gets not wanting to be still, but she needs to test the waters, not move like normal. Like everything else, it worries him.
He doesn't want to address her agreement or the fact that he wants to stay. Part of him is just glad she's talking to him, part of him thinks it's weird how easy it would be to fall back into old habits.
His eyes widen briefly in surprise. She's glad he's here. Did he hear that right? He supposes he gets it on some level. Despite everything, he's still familiar, and they both knew each other so well. Maybe too well, given she walked away. He doesn't know what to say to it. Of course it's a comfort to have someone around, that's exactly why he's there.
It has nothing to do with him, specifically.
"I am glad you are okay," he says at last instead of anything else, and even though it's quiet, it's earnest. He wants to take her hand and offer comfort once she starts crying, but he can't bring himself to take those few more steps.
