The Tangle it is what it is til it ain't anymore

His frustration flares.

Sweet Saoirse approaches him, offers the comfort that Shigetoshi is unable to give. It should be him, making certain she is alright. Anchoring himself to the ground, the piebald steward resists moving away from her touch. He swallows thickly, choosing to ignore the cowardly approach in return for giving her a silent apology. He brushes his cheek briefly to the side of her neck.

A mute response as a nod is all the male can offer. For they both can definitely agree that this place is terrible, dangerous, and sticking around will do them no good. He pulls away from her then, and this time, he waits for Saoirse to take the lead. This way, he can help her before such a near miss occurs.
