(And she means it, it's at least something easy that she can tell him. It can be super hard to be there for him, he sometimes makes it really hard, but it's a choice she made months ago and can't see herself ever making a different one.
She's glad he's here, and she presses that feeling into a kiss to the top of his head. She'll let him stay in that embrace, gentle caresses to hair and shoulder as further comfort in the absence of more verbal reassurance. Once he's ready again, she'll grab her phone again and give it to him.)
Come on, I'm teaching you, you're doing it, and then you're driving us to the mall, yeah?
[Permission to not say any more embarrassing things and that's fine with him. He'll just continue to seek Sophie's supporting embrace, his arms wrapped around her as his body lightly trembles. Still not outright crying, like he wants to keep that much still, but it's not like he can really hide from a telepath. It's some comfort, even if a little invasive sometimes, because at least he knows that Sophie knows how he feels without him needing to express it.
But eventually, with one large inhale, he pulls back and wipes his eyes, nodding a little to her suggestion.]
Mall sounds good. Hopefully the new flavor of slushie is there...
