WE ARE NOT CALMJesus fuckingWHY ARE WE SO JITTERYWill you be quiet?!
[He takes a deep breath and keeps his head down, walking fast. He fully intends to pass the clumsy stranger by and not lend a hand, but. Something about uncooperative addons, sprouting extra bits from your own body. It resonates with Eddie in uncomfortable ways. He raises his head a little, glances around the room before pulling one hand that was shoved deep into his pocket and holding it out to the young man. With those. Are those antlers?]
You okay? [Eddie asks without making eye contact, looking the other way before glancing down at Noël's shoes. He looks about ready to bail as soon as Noël opens his mouth to say anything, even if it happens to be along the lines of 'no I'm not okay I could really use your help'.]
