[ Thankfully Huaisang is not going to do something that makes this situation go out of hand.
He takes the blond's hands within both of his, which are comparatively smaller. As he does, he recalls when he first held it in a dance, when his own hands wrapped a scarf around McGillis' shoulders after he'd been out in the cold long, and when McGillis held him. He also thinks of just a few moments ago when they weren't at their best, when Huaisang slapped him, and McGillis' hand was on his wrist in a tight grip. ]
I asked because I mostly just wanted to hold your hand again. [ Everyone can judge him for this, it's fine, but he does let go right after. ] I also recognize that things are changed between us, but...
I still...want to be able to talk to you through the rest of this even besides when we'll need to work together, as I imagine we will, and then say our goodbyes when this ends. We haven't known each other long enough that I don't think I can ask for anything else, as we have different places to be. But, if I had the chance under better circumstances...I would.
[ It doesn't mean he's happy about what happened. Not by a longshot. He'll pause for a moment, drawing away a bit further to see if McGillis has anything to say, before he begins to head to the door. ]
