[To see Mattias like this again was incredibly worrying. Oren knew now how fast things could get worse. How horrible it was to see his now-friend reduced to someone who wouldn't get out of bed in the morning. He looked too close to it now, huddled to himself beneath the tree and flinching at first contact.
At first, Oren had thought he might leave. That maybe he and Ryan could use some time alone, that somehow things could be repaired if he just stepped out of the way. But seeing him like this, he wasn't so sure Ryan alone could fix anything.
So, instead of running away, he lifts his chin. His ears flick a bit and his trot becomes a little faster, slowing only once he's in more proper earshot of Mattias and Ryan. He lingers back for now, head lowering. He'll... be careful with it. Reveal himself when it seems Mattias can handle it, perhaps.]
