Malcolm nods.

"Did it drag everything up from then? Seeing... all that being talked about?"

His fingers wander along Will's forearm, absently fidgeting at the fabric, his face concerned.

Will takes in a larger breath. "A little...enough for me to make sure I distanced myself from it, somewhat. There are too many people here that can't tell that their trauma is controlling their arguments...I wanted to avoid that, if I could help it."

He shakes his head a bit. "But I'm all right. Merely trying to be cautious...I am sorry I couldn't help you more." As it was going on, he could tell it wouldn't have been a good idea to intervene. He'd have made it worse. But it still feels like leaving Malcolm to the vultures.

"Oh! No. It's okay." Malcolm gives him a gentle kiss. "It's okay. It went... mostly... fine. More mostly fine than usual. I don't want you to... sacrifice your sanity, Will."
