[ This is the moment where he's more or less not freaking out that much anymore and not back to normal enough to have slid back under his customary shell of armor and he's not actually all that sure what to do right now between the two states. It's mostly just really uncomfortable in a different way and he's not fond of it but he doesn't want to leave so, okay, he'll just sort of sit here and look at this once spot on the carpet and not go anywhere.

He lets her touch him without pulling back, although he doesn't make much of a positive reaction either. Still just sort of settling into stillness. He knows the way she's watching him is out of concern and care, but he can't help but feel like he's going to crack in the face of it. Not that it makes much of a difference - he's clearly quite capable of cracking when nobody's looking at him either. ]
