Louis was at a loss for what to do. He stood beside the bed uselessly with his long arms dangling helplessly by his sides. He had more presents for her but she looked as if she might break if he gave her anymore at that moment. He looked at his cousin when she spoke and it took him a minute for him to register her words. Shaking his head to snap out of it, he nodded. "Yeah.. I uh. Rose said she liked Lego so.. And penguins with.." He looked away from her pleading gaze and over at a chair on the opposite side to the end of the bed. "I'm just going to sit down." he commented with a vague nod. If he had of known Rose was this sick, and his cousin was this much in turmoil over their missing cousins he might never have come.
He would have run away or preoccupied himself with pranks. Anything. Sick people scared the living daylights out of him, and crying cousins and girls only served to frighten him more.
