Kokomi can tell that much. In fact, his silence on the matter is even more saddening. For someone who appears as though they were nearly swallowed by the ocean to be hiding how they're feeling is a saddening thing to watch, and her heart aches for him as she watches him struggle to respond. The scare of him nearly appearing to pass out has her stepping a tad bit closer, but her fingers end up remaining close to her own person when he continues just the same, with that lie.
Well... Perhaps calling it a lie is a little unfair. There is some truth to it, after all. He is alive, and there is hope. )
Mm... the mist?
( Why the mist, she has to wonder? Simply because it was a place of interest that she had mentioned? Maybe he's hiding an inquisitive mind like her own, even in the state that he's in. She couldn't possibly leave him to go find it on directions alone. )
I wonder if directions would correctly steer you, considering the nature of that place... I'd be happy to escort you, but are you certain you'd like to do that right now?
( She leans forward ever so slightly, peering at his face more noticeably. She's not going to hide it as much this time— if she has to point out that he looks dead on two legs, she will do it this way. )
