[The little jolt of panic is barely felt among everything else. It's not even clear whose emotions are whose at this point, despite the fact that Idia is still in better control of himself. So it's fine. They're... fine. Kind of.
The position isn't terribly comfortable, no, and his legs would hate him for it later, but for now? For now, it's fine. Idia's more comfortable than he believes of himself - in no small part because he's so skin and bones, because that's so distinctly Idia that it couldn't be anyone else... and he doesn't want anyone else, in this moment.
Try explaining that one, though. He sure won't be.
Slowly, steadily, the weight of the ghoul comes off his shoulders as it's replaced with the annoying, pounding headache that inevitably comes when you sob your eyes out, and Idia's hand brushing through his hair does little to help that. The soothing gesture does keep him grounded, though - enough to hear his returned apology.
It was definitely low-level. Awkward. Idia.
...Cute.
Cater's breath hitches a little, and while he hasn't stopped crying, he does laugh feebly at that being what Idia focused on.]
S'not cute anyway...
[He's still gonna stay hidden in clingy little brother mode for a while, though.]
