[Kel thinks it's really brave to cry. To allow themselves to be fragile in front of others, most people, himself include, don't want others to see their weaknesses.. He doesn't let go and holds the other close, merely shifting a bit when Basil's cat approaches, brushing himself against the gardener's legs. He wants to help too, it seems. Good Marigold. Because he needs something else to think about, too.

He doesn't want to talk about any of this anymore, he wants to move on, back to pretend everything was fine, but he took a big step with Basil and there is no coming back. He lifts up his bandaged hand and ruffles the other's hair in an affectionate manner, warm smile still not leaving his face. He wants to be left alone and find a place for himself-]

We can. We can talk about anything you want. Just... don't push yourself, mh? We can take all the breaks you need, shed all the tears you need to get outside and I will make sure to remind you at every step that everything will be okay.

I'm yours for as long as you will need me, mh?
