They froze when Valor started squeezing his eyes shut and shaking his head real fast. Great, they thought, he was even upsetter now.

He did at least try and tell them what he needed, verbally, given that he couldn't currently see the Collector's attempts at easing his strife with nonverbal gestures. Man, they were just trying to help-

The return of the chokey voice thingy startled Collector, and he sat very straight, and very still. He could do that. ❝ Aye aye, holding on. ❞ He confirmed, mouth closing in a straight line as he watched with wide eyes.

"Yeah, seawater isn't really drinkable . . ."

Valor squeezed his eyes shut. Stop stop stop stop stop stop DON'T break down again DON'T.

The Collector was talking again. They were musing about what was causing his breakdown, and he couldn't do anything, couldn't say anything to it. They kept trying to talk to him when he couldn't TALK.

He shook his head rapidly. "H-hold on," he choked out.

#// i relate sooo much to valor here actually ive always been the type where when im upset #i NEED to be left alone to breathe and recuperate #people trying to talk to me or touch me or repeatedly ask me whats wrong is NOT what i need and it makes it wooorse #and i know people like collector who yknow. HAVE good intentions but are acting on what THEY need when upset - ie comfort and distractions #which is notttt at all what works for me even a little bit #i need space i need you to shush! no yapping! im not mad at you i love you i just need to think!#��⋆⁺₊⋆ {verse} trapped beneath these bones #☾⋆⁺₊⋆ {ic} in(terstellar) character #☾⋆⁺₊⋆ {valor} first friend in forever #goldenbeastkeeper
