[ This isn’t something Ginger can easily parse. At first it seems as if whatever is washing over Mika might as well be the rough tide, leaving him unstable. And Ginger can’t do anything but watch him weather it, his hands remain firm but gentle to keep him steady should he tip. Mika doesn’t and that’s a minor relief.
But - he’s worried, so worried. This is his love just awakened.
Ginger wants to pluck him from his seat and go to - who? Who could help when he doesn’t understand enough to explain his concerns. ‘Mika looks unwell and I’m worried’ is hardly enough to get anything done.
But after some time, after breathless, heart-hammering moments, Mika seems to - settle enough to focus. His words make little sense, and it’s clear by the way Ginger’s mouth opens and stalls that he doesn’t know how to response.
The easiest thing to say would be: ]
Yes. [ Automatic but true. Automatic because it’s true. ] And more everyday.
