[For another moment, Gilbert is still unable to speak. But it's obvious that even Oz was unaware that the incuse had moved forward, so it wasn't a lie. Not a real one. But if he didn't notice, what does that mean? Is his contract so far gone now that he won't feel the influence of it over his body? Would there be no warning the next time that moved?
He pulls his hands away as Oz does his shirt back up, but doesn't rise from where he's kneeling on the floor. Does he go after Break? Apologize for being wrong - again? No, Break would never ask for an apology because Gilbert would never offer one. He's been through a lot, they all have, but Break and Oz more so than anything he's had to deal with. They've seen two different types of worlds, even more outside of that now. And inside those worlds, Break has died and Oz has taken a closer step towards death of his own.
How can I selfishly stand by and feel upset when they're dealing with all of this...
In the end, he doesn't follow Break. He stands up and puts a hand on Oz's shoulder, remaining at his side, as he always will.]
I'll walk over with you.
[It's close by, but he's not going to let Oz walk even those few steps on his own if he doesn't have to.]
