Okay, no, that's...That's a pretty good cue to sit down. Him alone crying is bearable, but the fact that he's reduced Cu Chulainn to tears with his emotional nonsense is doubly upsetting; scuttling out of the road of most passers-by, Gordin squats and tries to turn or something so that he can hug the poor little sapling. Even if it hurts whenever he squirms too much or tugs a little too quickly.

Least he can do. Any embarrassment pales in the face of how godsdamned upset they both are (and really, even if he hadn't been also in the middle of sobbing his heart out, the sight of a crying child would still probably win out over his shame. Thankfully).

"Shhhh, shhhhhh, it'll be okay! We-- We'll g-get home, and they'll be really happy to see us!"
