He had never seen anyone react like Esk did to the sight of him reaching for her shirt. He stepped back for a moment, though he was still close enough for her to reach after she had sat down. The raw fear in her eyes, radiating from her, was actually quite disturbing to him - what could possibly cause her to be so afraid? He was pretty sure the Aschen had found cures, or at least treatments, for most of the potentially lethal diseases which had plagued humanity for so long, though some things clearly took longer than others to address. Yet somehow, she feared him coming into contact with her bloodied shirt. Why would that frighten her so much?

He wanted to ask; he wanted it with a surprising amount of fervor. However, fear such as she was showing could not be dealt with by questions that would demand confrontation of that fear. So he took the other route and said "Okay, so I guess I'll be buying you a new one then." Sitting down on the floor near Esk, he laid his hand over hers, layering its sudden coolness between his wrist and palm, and said "I take it you weren't going to miss that shirt much then?" in a tone meant to convey humor. He didn't come across as amused, because that would have been too incongruous, but it was tangential enough to at least partially derail whatever thoughts or emotions were fueling her fear.
