He closed his eyes for a moment, trying to reenforce the shield and then let out a breath, rubbing at the back of his neck again. "If you lead I'll follow I just um, am not fond of contact. If that's okay? I...just don't want to bombard you with my emotions." Especially if he encountered another memory. His feelings about Skisan were a lot more mixed than they used to be.
