[Oh?????? He does not know what to do??? After freezing up for a hot second, he just sorta awkwardly pats her back. There there?? He's an expert at converting most of his emotions into anger so he can solve his personal problems by arguing, he does not know how to deal with someone honestly expressing sadness?? I blame growing up in a family unit that was only men. Anyway.]

They're a bit like socks, with a notch in the toe for sandals, except the ones I wear have a hard bottom so you don't need sandals.
