[ It's enough to unfreeze him. He slips his jacket the rest of the way off and comes to sit in front of her, reaching for her hands with one of his, the other coming up to wipe her cheeks for her. This on the heels of Nico and Tucker, but being from a terrible situation back home that Kyna wanted to save him from.... yeah. Wash gets it, as much as he wishes he didn't. ]
Yeah... I didn't say anything because and maybe she'd come back with the new arrivals or something, but she didn't. El disappeared a few weeks ago.
[ He tilts his head towards the dresser where his armor is set out, and Kyna may notice that beside it is a little walkie talkie. The one Eleven used to carry. ]
I don't know. When I went back home, everything I brought here came with me, and I don't even know how I'd be able to tell what he had from home, anyway.

I'm sorry. You could have told me.
no subject
No, I think I was hoping she'd come back. I'm telling you now that she didn't.

We need to save Maine. I can't -- if he just disappears, too, I don't... we haven't even figured out how to tell him.

[She lets out a shaky breath.]

[ Trying to be helpful is probably just upsetting her worse. ]
I know I'm not helping, I just wish I could fix it.
no subject
You always help.
[And she knows he always wants to fix it, even if there's no obvious solution.]
We'll figure out something with Maine, just like with Lance. I promise.
no subject
Okay.

no subject
[Kyna is not exactly an expert at those.]
