That very fact terrified him more than it should, but he also felt immense guilt over the relief he felt when he finally found out where Kaz was being held.
"I hate that I'm glad you two are still here." He says quietly, before immediately changing the subject. "Kaz riding out his high was just... it was hard. I didn't know what I was doing other than letting him ride through the fallout."
There's a pause, before he looks distressed. "He kept ... he kept calling me Jordie."
