[it's the suddenness of it that concerns him, the way he stops mid-sentence to flee. by now, he knows enough to guess at what it is... and with the circumstance, he also guesses that following too closely would probably exacerbate the issue. so he gives the redhead a moment before following completely, just watching to ensure he doesn't slip too far out of sight.
air will do him good, no doubt about that, but being alone...? the blond isn't so sure. so the least he can do is move forward to protect his Lord, his lover, the man whose gentle soul he's wanted to care for, for ages. for both of their sakes, he tells himself he won't call out until it feels safer, until there should be fewer eyes and ears to take notice. it's likely Dohalim's headed to one of his quiet places anyway.
can he even help with this? he doesn't know, he just... can't stay away. it's silly, foolish even, but here he is. if he's pushed off, that's fine, but he can't just do nothing.]
