[None the wiser to the fact that his long-time friend wants to wear his skin right now, Elsword continues his light stretches up until Add mentions Dynamo picking "something" up. He has no way to read what's on the holoscreens at this angle, and even if he could, it's not like he knows enough of that scientific mumbo-jumbo to really put two and two together. He goes still either way, turning his head over his shoulder to attempt eye contact. Attempt being the operative term; it's difficult to see like this, and Add is forever buried in his screens.
The fumbling does not go unnoticed. Elsword assumes it has more to do with the fever than any alleged crisis of sexuality on Add's part. Wanting to cut a man open and let his blood ooze down your fingertips, to your wrists, and to the floor is definitely that. Still...]
Wait, really? ...you look bothered. Is it that bad?
[For what it's worth, Elsword is not entirely stupid. Oblivious, yes, but he's not blind to Add's tense posture, nor the troubled expression on his features. For all Add's ability to suppress his reactions to various stimuli, including — apparently — Elsword's back, Elsword possesses the equally-uncanny ability to read him.
Mostly.
Yet he's not onto Add, merely has awareness of when something eats at him. Add does not wear his heart on his sleeve; Elsword has a good-enough grasp on his companion anyway to get a general sense of what he's thinking. There's a certain irony in it, surely.
He dares to pivot on his heel to get a better look. Red cheeks, sweating, pupils dilated... Yep. Elsword must be dying terribly. Why else would Add be unsettled?]
