[Carlos doesn't say a word while Giorno stays quiet, ever-conscious of the need for thinking time in his own right. There's something too grave about him, his entire demeanor, but that effect is broken by the slight bouncing of his left leg, evidently some kind of nervous tic that he can't quite shake. It worsens as the silence grows on, his anxiety apparent.]
I think that's a good idea, yeah. Whatever you feel like you need to do.
[He doesn't try and deny the statement that he is uncomfortable, because it seems contradictory to do so in the wake of a conversation about honesty. He is uncomfortable, but that isn't Giorno's fault, and it makes everything so much more difficult to work through. He starts to say something, something like I'm sorry, but he's been told far too many times that apologies are simply excuses, and so he keeps his mouth shut, even as his thoughts continue to a rapid crescendo.
Before he really knows it--as synapses fire from a to b and his impulses act without his will--he's got Giorno in a very awkward hug, more of the product of a need for comfort as opposed to a need to comfort. It's all sharp edges (when was the last time he did this?), but there's a surprising force to it, regardless of whether or not he notices.]
