[and in time with his apology:] Sorry. [it's not that he doesn't appreciate the offer, it's just that he doesn't want to hurt anyone. or get hurt]
[still, though, against his better judgement in the case of the latter, he eases slowly back into his seat, finally. it probably helps (or doesn't) that he can't really go anywhere, even if he wanted to, with Barry still blocking the way. at least this way, he can curl back up around his tea]
I'm kind of just passing through?
[he's heading west, to Texas, then south, through Mexico. he won't go back to Brazil, that's too predictable, but he's decided he likes south. less a chance of him freezing to death, metaphorically speaking since he can't die, when he wakes up after an episode, if and when he has one]
