Glancing briefly towards their hands, Ishiah allows the concession — if it can be even called that. He holds fast to Robin's hand, thumb running neatly over the knuckles, feeling slight grime there. It's pretty clear that his apartment was indeed the first place Robin went, and Ishiah finds that he can't begrudge that.
If anything, he appreciates it.
But he does feel, in turn, that tonight's conversation is one where he needs to do little else but offer himself as a wall of support. The answers are perfectly within Robin's reach, however much he's likely been avoiding them before Ishiah's arrival. Talk of being lived out is hardly understandable to Ishiah, but to Robin, it's a reality that he continues to toe dangerously, feet on the edge of a cliff. (That's the only part that scares Ishiah. There's only so much one can do to help another back.)
"I want you to be honest with him, as honest as you can be. Sometimes it requires harsh experiences to learn a lesson, but it'd be a blessing, for some definition thereof, if you could share your wisdom with him. You've seen that mistake more often than I have." His hand squeezes a little tighter around Robin's, this time for his own sake.
