[As someone who'd spent months watching Luke, Tear could tell that he wasn't okay. She might not have been able to see his face because of this, but his tone of voice was enough for her to know.

She's not okay, so she understands. But, she needs him to support her right then. Yes, holding his hand is good and well and keeps her grounded, even with the bump on her head making it difficult to think sometimes, but she needs to deal with Luke right now.]

Luke...you don't have to hide this from me. Why don't you tell me what's wrong before we go on? I-I can't imagine this is going easy for you after everything we've talked about.
