Conversations aren't things you can win, Garrot!! Gyre blinks a little at that squeeze around his arm, letting his hand fall away from Garrot's so he can keep up with those big, long steps. He's moving, he's moving. He knows why he wants to be alone, but he didn't expect Crowds of Fans to get to Garrot in the same way. Either way, they both seem to want the same thing for now, so he follows easily.

More importantly, he rolls his eyes at the other, snorting in amusement again. It's very nearly a laugh this time at least! He's enjoying Garrot's teasing, even if he can feel it edging towards being annoying.

"You looked like you were dying. I didn't have time to wait for someone to climb a mountain to get you. Would you have preferred I left you alone while you were like that?" he needles him, making this dismissive little gesture. They're completely different things. He definitely knows when to ask for help and not take an entire person or world saving mission on his own shoulders. So there.
