Gansey started when Laurent stood, cups of tea shaking on the table.
He was—running away? Even though he was a captive of this man, Gansey was worried. He had looked so frightened.
It was the perfect time to flee if he was going to try that. However, the thought didn't even cross his mind. Gansey stood and followed the Phantom, finding him panting outside the room, using the wall as support. Before Gansey had been nervous about touching the man; now, he reached forward to gingerly touch the Phantom's back, rubbing in slow, soothing circles.
"Hey. It's all right." Even his voice he tried to keep low and soothing, trying to coax the Phantom out of his panic attack. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked."
