Johnathan saw his usual tactics weren't working. Of course, they usually were never used on many so its not like he had much to base this off of. Grasping her tighter, he'd stare her in the eyes and try and reach her again, not wanting to push his hand against her anymore for it could frightern her further, which could kill her if taken too far. "Merope, listen this isn't Marvolo. I know you didn't do it. You didn't do anything, I hear you. Everyone agrees, you didn't do it. You didn't do anything."
He kept holding onto her body, not letting her withdraw and still rubbing the back of her neck gently, trying to comfort her with the touch to calm her down. Gently he would speak to her, trying to get her to see it wasn't Marvolo. He was seeing just how complicated his fear gas can be. The tall, lanky psychiatrist had gotten down infront of her on both knees, holding her with both hands and trying to reach her, not wanting her to die from this.
Then, in a bit of desperation he thought of what he could. Before she could push him away, the doctor would pull her closer and embrace her in a hug, rubbing her back a bit and whispering into her ear. "Its okay, Merope. Its okay. You didn't do anything, its okay." He thought this may reach her, considering her enjoyment of touch he thought it would work. Of course, there was no gurantee.
