[ look he is not a walking angstfest, okay, he has been on the ground not evening attempting a crawl for the entire duration!
...This... entire duration, anyway.
And that dweeb is too adorable and his focus in life to ever consider feeling any remorse that might suggest he'd be choked up at contact (except that also doesn't mean he wishes like crazy he could be a 'cool' older brother... or, you know, definitely still on the terms they used to be before Elliot pretty much disowned him for following his heart ;( he would like to have his cake and eat it, too, but he gets it... he...
—no one cares, Gil, so save it...), but if he knew it was between this and between letting know a stupid bird just bullied him for options on why he might sound near tears...
Yeah, he'd let the first one fly anyday. As if he wants Elliot to know how even more pathetic his big brother can be; none of this is cool.
Gilbert blinks at the question on being okay (because, well, maybe that would be worth getting a little choked up with Elliot and his tsundere extreme mode) but he doesn't even get to answer before the point is being cut to.
(Also, ahaha Oz catching him up on everything, one would hope... but they'll have to talk eventually okay!! No escaping forever, it's not possible.)
The time between his first response and his next is enough for him to sigh and manage to get rid of the needed urge to sob in pain. While it's just audio, Gilbert does bring his hand to pinch at the bridge of his nose as if trying to get a quicker grasp on what Elliot could be talking about. Vincent has been around, but he hasn't told him anything (other than a lot of sympathetic pats of Megumi being gone and maybe how it's probably for the best who knows, Gilbert isn't all that sure he was listening.
So, at least when he replies this time, he doesn't sound like an emotional loser. In fact, to his credit, one could almost forget his initial reply... Or, you know, absolutely remember it now because they are so damn different sounding. ]
No, what happened?
[ he's concerned, of course. Elliot coming to him with this sort of thing means it's got to be serious. ]
