[ Slowly but surely, his breathing begins to settle. Sure, he still trembles whenever he shifts, still feels so overwhelmed from all of everything, but he's good. Happy, to be here like this with Cater. It'll hit him later, the realization of all they'd done.

For now? He nods against Cater, slow and careful. He feels it too, the quiet that dares to break if they're too loud, if they move too fast. ]

Mmhm, [ He hums out in response, squirming ever so slightly. ]

And you...?

[overwhelming is definitely the word for it. that's why, perhaps, Cater doesn't let himself settle into the panic that might normally follow. there'll be time later to overthink this.]

Yeah. I'm fine.

[a little sensitive still, sure, especially since Riddle can't seem to sit still, but it's not like Cater blames him.

...man, he didn't even think about cleanup or anything. what's up, Diamond? you really needed to hit it that bad? sheesh.

Cater makes a little noise, though. he... can't jump to making jokes like that in his head. way too soon.]

Let me know when you wanna, mm.

Get up, or... y'know.

[don't ask his brain to work.]
