A scatching, sarcastic remark is on the tip of his tongue about how much he doesn't care about Eva's pet when Buttercup pipes up. Everything about his world is slower than usual as he's finding his calm again, so he doesn't get out any remark about the alcohol before the child is doing something so unexpected and kind it floors him.
He stares in disbelief as the kid offers up a piece of his gift back to him just to make him feel better. It reminds him so much of Morgan saying she loves him three thousand. How was he supposed to even respond to soemthing like that? He can't reject the gift so sweetly given can he? He didn't want her to feel like it wasn't appreciated.
And really, Eva was just being nice too. She was offering up the only thing she had to give. It humbles him and makes him feel terrible for the grumpy response he was about to give her. Why was he even allowed to be around people?
"Thank you," he finally manages. Standing up, he takes the small package from her and takes the smallest piece he can break off before giving it back. "Thank you both." He sits back heavily on the bed and takes a bite. The chocolate was excellent. He was going to have to find a way to show his appreciation more fully later.
Now that he was awake and not reeling from the anxiety, the embarrassment of the situation was setting in. "I'm sorry I woke you." He runs a hand through his hair and sighs. "This.. doesn't seem the best time to have a bunch of roommates around." Getting kidnapped by a Void train, getting thrown in with a group of new people, etc. It was a recipe for disaster and short fuses.
He'd normally take a walk in this kind of situation, but he was so tapped out energy-wise, he doubted he'd get very far. Although, maybe that was alright. He could go find a chair to pass out in in the dressing car. "I should probably leave and let you two get some sleep."
