His heart nearly skipped a beat when she almost touched him, and he froze, just staring at her. His mouth opened to reply, but nothing came out. What was happening to him? After a moment he managed to close his eyes and take a deep breath, wondering if he should stay, like she said, it might be his only chance. Yet he found himself quite tired of being so boring, living like he did, an outsider to the world while entirely surrounded by it. He had no family to return to, no friends, just himself. So why should he run off to that when she needed help finding her family?
He was quiet for a moment while he wondered what that would be like, to have a family. Okay, that wasn't helping. He looked over at her, straightening his back, trying to seem confident. "I'll stay and help." He managed, with a small nod. And a hope that he didn't entirely slow her down, which would be awful. "Where should we start?" Though he mind wondered how he would manage to help her when her nearly touching him made him freeze up, and he was a mess at conversation.
