"Y-yeah, sorry, I..." He looks away, but decides he's tired of running and demurring when not being open about their emotions was what got them into this problem! So he looks back at Gyre, less like a kicked puppy and more just... uncomfortable.

"I've been stressed since this morning." He fidgets in place. You're not his therapist or his family, it's weird talking to you about this, Gyre! "Being a Knight is bringing up a lot of... a lot of difficult memories." Garrot thought he was past the death of his father, but this hit a lot closer to home than he'd anticipated. He looks sad, more defeated than Gyre sounded. But there's a glimmer of hope!

"Talking about bad stuff has helped me, so i-if you ever wanna talk about the past or those fights or anything else," Garrot looks around awkwardly, realizing that he's back to trying to help someone who says they don't need and it might be him shooting himself in the foot after all this work but he wants say something about it, so... "I'd listen if you'd let me." And then he opens his arms for a hug, because yeah, Inner-Monologue-Clone-Garrot was right, he kinda did need a hug right now.
