Wolfwood feels his heart sink into his shoes as the pair start to cry, his head hanging forward slightly as he thinks about what he should do. Well, he knows what he should be doing, he just isn't sure if it would be terribly helpful, right now...
God, he's so, so bad at this. Ezell and Ain are so empathetic as a pair, and he himself in contrast is not. He's jaded and miserable, and that makes it hard to feel things as deeply as they do, but it's possible he's just deluding himself. After all, he's the same guy who gave his hands third-degree burns to save an orphanage full of children that wouldn't know him if they saw him.
After a moment, Wolfwood makes his way over and sinks down on one knee next to them both, placing one hand on Ain's back, and the other on Ezell's. He rubs them both, thumbs brushing over shoulderblades.]
Shhh, hey. It's okay. You're both okay.
[Says the guy who just blinked, thus finally forcing the tears that had been aching in the corners of his eyes to fall rapidly down his cheeks and neck.]
