Too locked up to flinch at the hand on his arm and honestly? That's a blessing. He'd twitch right out of his skin if he could and THAT would cause a scene, an uproar, would ruin the whole damn point of this meetup saying he's fine. He's not. He really isn't but Carolina- god bless her. Carolina pulls him enough to make him turn, make him nod because words aren't a fucking thing right now. Delta does what he can to smooth things over because that's what he does and if he didn't have them?

Today would be balls. Hell it already is. A smile, a wave, a wink- he doesn't know what he does to the crowd as he stands but he does SOMETHING that shows he's fine, change of plans, no big deal.
