[Till won't deny that there's a cut of pain when Ivan flinches back, but...Till gets it, too, as he's prone to overstimulation when in an emotionally unregulated state himself. he doesn't get what's going through Ivan's head, only that he's processing something difficult. Till's said what he needed to say, but he doesn't feel better—it seems to have been at Ivan's expense. getting his skull rocked was easier than whatever had set Ivan off.
but—whatever the state of things, that's just how it is, isn't it? Till can't really handle much more, so he doesn't give himself the opportunity to spread himself any thinner. he just rests with his back to the wall, lifting his knees to rest his head against them. he'll leave Ivan be, but stay close. he needs at least that much at least a little longer.]
