He hadnāt really expected to run into Kris while he seemed to be so... distressed. Berdly took note of the way heād been shaking, covering his face with his hands. As much as he picked on him, and as weird as he thought Kris was, this really wasnāt the time for any of that. This was clearly something serious, and rather concerningĀ to boot.Ā
Berdly watched as Kris looked at him, and he looked back with a tight-lipped frown and furrowed brows. His expression might have been the slightest bit unreadable. Who really knew whether he was judging Kris, or if he was genuinely concerned? The bird monster himself thought it was fairly obvious, however. After all, why would he ask in the first place, if he didnāt care to an extent?
When Kris stammered, sounding quieter than usual, Berdlyās expression softened a little as he waited for an answer. He knew the two of them werenāt friends. He wasnāt sure if they were even on friendly terms, but that didnāt mean he should simply ignore a person who needed help. He wasnāt so self-absorbed that he was heartless, or anything. But then Kris accused him of not caring, and Berdly blinked in confusion.
He was speechless. Immobile, for all of two seconds. Until he decided that he had to follow Kris, and ran into the restroom after him. The sound of retching was quite an unpleasant sound to walk into, and that just made him all the more worried when he saw Kris standing over the sink, his fingers in his mouth.Ā
He rushed up to his classmateās side, gently putting a wing on his arm,Ā āKris...? What are you doing? Are you alright? Do you need me to get the nurse?ā More questions popped into his head, but he didnāt have the time to ask allĀ of them at once. For now, he supposed heād just have to settle for trying to help in any way he could. But as knowledgeable as he was, he really had no idea how to help, never actually finding himself in a situation like this before.
