[At the very least, Lott isn't dragged into Korone's negative emotions. He can keep his head together, not offer a feedback loop, and he can at least keep himself from getting too panicked even as he worries.]
[The panic won't help. Didn't help in the Forest and he has a better understanding of Thought over Emotion now that he can actually REMEMBER Vio.]
[He moves closer, touching back down to the ground, but giving her more space. A fully don't touch. He watches for the smaller signs, in case she's about to get violent on herself. Even as the sprinklers turn on, the water doesn't really cling to him, body not fully solid as he is ready to move if he has to.]
[She's lashing out.]
[He understands that.]
Keep breathing, Phi. You can do it. [His voice is gentler, calmer, studying her, taking in the differences. There is so much more tension she didn't have before. More akin to her brother than she had been in the Forest.]
[Its worrying, but he tries to keep it from growing too much.]
[He tries to keep the pang of hurt as he feels the barrier come up, but he understands that too. Just because he never bothered to hide, he knew the others did. They did far too often.]
The Forest. I'm used to this kind of body language more from her brother than her. Maybe its a memory thing. She didn't have them in the Forest and I know I'm different with all mine, and she has a lot more memories than me.
The fire's new. Usually she can't hope to hurt me, even when the Arbiters were makin' me weaker.
She's putting up the barrier. [He's watching her fingers though. Still flat. Good. He keeps his eyes focused solely on her, watching for any dangerous shifts.]
