[Equius begins to curl into himself little by little, hands unclenching, arms loose infront of him, not nearly as locked against his chest. His head lowers, damp hair falling about his face, obfuscating his expression from view, but not enough to completely hide the almost unhinged despair stretching over it. The loneliness churning in him makes him feel like expelling the contents of his stomach. He had just been speaking to Nepeta about this, Sollux isn't, who he needs to feel this around. Had he not been just speaking to his very competent moirail about this particular subject, he wouldn't have nearly been able to get his bearings so easily. Well, at least get his bearings as far as disheartened is concerned.]
[His hands tighten again, head bowing a little more, lips tightening, form against his slowly clenching teeth.]
Quiet.
[It's- barely audible, more like a slightly fluctuating hiss and Sollux- if he's paying attention anyway- may be able to see Equius is very intently glaring at him from just above his shades. There's a minor tint to the yellow of his eyes, more ruddy than usual, the change in colour accompanying the pulse of a vein in his left arm and that almos 'crack' that could've easily been a more weak- already damaged tooth in his mouth.]
