He'd feel more connected to Garrot in this moment, if a clone of him wasn't the source of his embarrassment. Still, he can't quite force himself to look away from this trainwreck of a scene, his eyes sliding to edge of his vision so he can watch as... as Garrot dismisses the clone?
He stands up a little straighter as the clone puffs into glitter, his stomach clenching in that moment. That feels bad? Did Garrot just kill his clone? The guy had been alive, right? Even if he's thankful his ally gets to have his filter back, there's this weird despair in his chest that a person had to ?die? to do it? Is it dead?? It's just magic, but it had been talking and--
He shakes his head. He'll process this weird moral dilemma later, maybe. For now, he lowers his hand from his mouth, watching Garrot apologize and deflate. Gyre can tell he's trying really hard, and he can't help but go back to what the clone said. Maybe this dude really does just want a hug? Ugh, he hates trying to navigate stuff like this with these people They make it so much harder then it needs to be.
"You," he begins, just to keep Garrot from walking away before he's said what he wants, even if it does take him a second to realize what is is, exactly, he wants to say. "You don't need to apologize. We're all... learning our powers."
He straightens himself up fully, turning to face him again. He's getting his confidence back now, even if he still wants to be careful. God knows he doesn't want to get in a screaming match with this dude. Again. That's definitely what they'd been doing before the clone showed up.
"I don't want to hit you, by the way. I don't know why you'd think that." He takes a deep breath, tilting his head. Garrot is baffling to him, honestly. "I won't stop you if you want to leave though. Whatever you need to do, for you."
