"I-I wasn't trying to imply-...I mean the Nano-chains were clearly the more economical choice already." Nervous humor quickly turns into dawning horror as he registers what just tumbled out of his mouth and he briefly cringes back against the door.
"T-That wasn't- I didn't mean-...I-I'll just sit down, now." Hoping that forfeiting his spot against the door might be enough to get him out of a shock, he cautiously peels himself off of it, moving to sit as he nervously rambles along the way. "Do my reaction exercise. That's a new one for me. Yay, therapy. Always so relaxing."
Sitting like someone who's used to making himself small, knees held tight together even as one bounces nervously, hands knit together in his lap, he keeps his eyes on the floor as he tries to come up with a memory. It's not the strongest one, but it is more recent. Something on the more pleasant spectrum. His parents coming home after the party Tommy convinced him to throw and being shockingly okay with it. Especially after he and Tommy set to cleaning everything themselves, while his parents got to use the hot tub Tommy had insisted on renting. Sure it wasn't exactly a memory of just his father. But it was safe.
"Um...okay, so...breathing's normal, heart's racing but I don't think that has to do with the memory. Balance is fine. No flatulence, heh." Giving an awkward shrug, his hands set to fidgeting nervously, already sure this wasn't going to be what she wanted to hear. "I don't really know what else to say."
