"Wait." He tells Isamu and there's a clipped tone to it which Tommy rarely uses.
He moves over to the boys and if allowed will lay a hand on Minoru's hair or shoulder. Either way his presence is there. He doesn't force it on Minoru but he's there if the human reaches for it and open which Tommy rarely does for anyone. He's so unlike Ziggy' controlled, calm, and distant like looking at the moon on a cold winter night but gentle. His presence is so gentle it could be described as almost passive.
"Neither of you are broken." He says gently. He remembers so many times Mary Lou throwing things at him and screaming because he was so cold and disinterested. "A human and an alien need time to find middle ground when they connect."
And sometimes they never find it maybe but Tommy doesn't think this human is anything like the humans he encountered, that betrayed him.
