I have a bit more faith in his mental state than you do I fear. And he hasn't been rejected, he's been asked to wait while someone thinks.
[He sighs, and on his side he's shaking his head.]
Believe me when I say I'm doing my best to support him from the other side of the issue, which involves conversation with both him, and the young man currently holding his favor.
Do not doubt me when I say I want to see him happy. I am concerned, but less so than you because I have hope.
[ Stares into the abyss. How many times can he say 'the crush isn't the problem'... ]
Glad as I am for your hope, and I do hope the situation works out well, whether or not he ends up with a date won't resolve the underlying problem.
I'm glad to hear you're helping him through it. I'll leave you to it.
[ David's busy playing support in the way he deems appropriate, and he's known Loki longer than Stephen has. If he thinks what he's doing will help, good, Stephen's not going to fight him on it any further. ]
[That's for the best, because David gets the core of the wound. And that core is feeling unloved and unlovable. Loki's basically told him that. And there is nothing the rest of them can do to solve how Loki feels about wanting to be loved in that manner.]
