Re: April/Eliot
If it was meant to put her off, it didn't. The whining tone and the deep sighs just had her more convinced that what he needed was to talk it out. The comment itself only had her more worried. "Eliot," she said softly. "You only just lost your sight, it's natural that you're reacting to it emotionally. No one is expecting you to have moved past it already. I've told you this before - you're pushing yourself too hard. Cut yourself some slack."
She squeezed his hand gently. "Now what happened to trigger it?" she asked, not in the least letting things go. "And I know you're one of the people who hates to talk about emotions, but this is me, I'm not going to tell anyone or think any less of you, and talking helps. If for no other reason than the fact that you sort things out in your own head when trying to explain it to someone else."
