Ocean's affections did help to settle Desmond just a bit, he was still frustrated and couldn't really explain why after hearing Ocean's explanations. Maybe he was just frustrated with himself because he felt so emotional. Things had been going pretty well for them sure, but there was still the pressure of making sure it continued that way. He'd also be lying if he said he wasn't a little nervous about not being able to see a doctor yet, wanting everything to normal and okay but feeling everything but. Sure what he was feeling was typical "symptoms" but it didn't feel typical to him and not knowing had him anxious and on edge. Nodding, his forehead still pressed against Ocean's, Desmond closed his eyes for a moment to further gather himself. After taking a deep breath he opened his eyes and turned to look back towards the waiter that was still a mess on the floor. "I'm sorry," he muttered, hand tightening around Ocean as the realization of what he'd done hit him, not sure if the apology was for Ocean or the waiter he'd traumatized.
