...People are giving them mildly concerned looks by this stage, given that they're both in tears; probably the only reason that no one's stopping to check on them is that they both seem unharmed. Probably. Which is good, because if Gordin realises that he's blubbering like he hasn't since he was last imprisoned (7 years ago, 7 godsdamned years) in public of all places, in front of someone he hopes to make a good impression on...
Well, he'd just cry harder. But the point is that he doesn't need more distress, not when he realises that by Naga, that had been a hug or as good as, and they're both starting to sob now and great. Great. All he can think to do is try to slow down and tighten his grip, so that they don't end up collapsing and making even more of a scene.
"A-and yours, when you see them! We'll hug them really tightly, to make up for the...Thuh-huh-huh not being there--"
Feeling his passenger's hand brush against his cheek in such a simple little gesture completely shatters any semblance of having his shit together that Gordin might have had. If his concern hadn't been so squarely on keeping them upright and in place, then he'd return it tenfold instead of just standing still and bawling. "I want to go huh-hooooooooome!"
