At first he keeps looking past her, stubborn as much as futile in his search for something to help. But she's looking at him, and who would he be if he didn't listen to her now? Reluctantly he turns his head back.
How she got her power he doesn't know, but those specifics aren't the important part, and he doesn't ask. He's already worried, but the dread in it pools up like thick syrup filling his insides. He feels sick as he comes to understand.
She can't find Feferi, it will make things worse if she tries, and that means she can't even try to get healed.
His second hand joins his first in holding hers.
"I'm not leaving. I can't just... go and let you..." Die. She said it, but he can't yet; it sticks in his throat when he tries. "You can't tell me you want to be found by one of those. You don't get to tell me this is your burden to bear when--when I'm the dumbass who didn't think to realize how bad this is. What kind of heartless asshole just leaves his friend like this?"
