She almost started sobbing all over again and probably would have if whoever it was hadn't pulled her into an embrace and kissed her forehead.

Almost immediately, she felt just a bit calmer and turned her head slightly, burying her face into the gap between his shoulder and his neck. How could she have told Chris to go away? Though since he arrived, she'd stopped crying for the most part even if she was still trembling a little. Shaking her head, she tried to speak but ended up choking back another sob. So that would have to be enough for him to figure out that he didn't have to take off his shirt. She was pretty much done crying, anyway.

"Why'd you stay?"
she asked, voice quavering slightly. Why did he want to stay, even when almost everyone else had walked out? To be honest, Elise didn't think that she deserved it. She wasn't anything special, not really. Just another Ravenclaw, and according to Oakey, the most insane one. Nothing special about that.
As uncomfortable as he was with being shirtless, if Elise needed his shirt, he'd give it to her. Already reaching to pull off his shirt, Chris let out a breath of relief when he realized Elise had begun to calm down. That was a good sign, wasn't it? Even after she began speaking, he made sure to keep his arms wrapped around her, convinced it would keep her from sobbing again.

But now she was speaking and she was asking...why he had stayed? "Um, well, y'know..." This question completely stumped him. What kind of answer was he supposed to give her? Because if he gave her the real answer, she'd never believe him in the first place. Or she'd think he was lying or....who knows what! And he couldn't even think of something to lie about so that was out of the question.

"I, uh....I stayed because....you're here and you're sad...and you're my best friend!" Surely that was a good enough answer? No need to go into too much detail on his feelings or anything, right? "You're Mrs. Awesomesauce and I just love you." Christopher nodded firmly, making sure Elise got the point. There was no way he was going anywhere. He reached for her hand, linking his fingers with hers, and tried to think of another reason for him to say what he was really thinking.

Maybe, just maybe, today would be the day he got his "sign"...
