Really, he'd gotten past the point where he tried to convince himself he wasn't talking about her. He was. "Crying's the worst."

As soon as he had his fingers back, Kellen wiped them on the back of his robe. Much as he was sure Dakest Spit would make a lovely potion ingredient, he wasn't in that class and therefore neither wanted or needed it.

He sighed at the list of details Sabel gave. Really, he couldn't defend any of what Sabel was exhausted at, but at least he could think of something for that last bit, "You're not doing 'nothing', Sabel. Maybe from your perspective it feels that way, but... well, I've only met your mother once, but she seems like the kind of lady who'd want to know that her son is able to have the occasional laugh. And that he's getting along with his friends even when they're entering suicidal competitions and insisting on staying platonic and getting their faces attacked by jockish Hufflepuffs. I mean..."

Oh, fine, he'd do the one-armed shoulder-hug again, "I don't think she'd want you to shut yourself up and always be sad."

A fainthearted chuckle left him despite everything; despite feeling like he couldn't express another moment of laughter or smile, or even anger. But then, Kellen always had the strange ability to drag out a bit of humor or happiness no matter the situation; it was as if he purposefully fished for it.

"Sometimes, Stern, your not helping, helps." If that even made any sense. Another pass of his hand over his face and he paused, frowning at the blood on his sleeve. "You are weird like that."
