He looks at Crow for a long moment, still tense. Breathing in and out slowly.

He does know what Crow means of course. He absolutely does understand. And he wants to respond positively. But Crow closing him out was... Honestly bad. Very bad. He's having to sort through his own panic to try to be logical. He wants to just agree to appease Crow but that's the opposite of a good reason to agree. Figuring out if he wants to agree for himself is impossible right this second. And refusing to agree will only hurt Crow.

"Crow... Please give me... A moment."

He's still got that smile but it's kind of stiff.
