[It's Will's turn to be confused this time, for once caught entirely off guard. Normally, it's easy to have a good idea of what's going to happen, to grasp the flow of a conversation, to anticipate and sometimes steer a situation if he feels the need to..... Cor has always been an open book before. His heart desperately wants to be heard, in spite of Cor's best efforts to silence and smother it.
But that doesn't help, not this time. It's too tangled up and chaotic, too dizzying and unpredictable, like a kaleidoscope of shattered stained glass caught in a whirlwind.
He may be startled, but he doesn't spook--doesn't even try to make sense of it, after the initial flash of bewilderment, because he can tell before he even begins that he's going to fail. Will simply leans his cheek into Cor's hand, head turning to catch Cor's lips more fully.]
