To Rung's credit, the outburst didn't cause him to freak out or anything of that nature. He actually kept himself collected, flinching only the slightest bit when Fort Max first turned on him during his little outburst--
But otherwise his gaze was steady and understanding, studying the other as Max visibly got himself under control.
It was a start and a good sign. (On the inside, though, was a whole other story because Rung's spark was fluttering in a panic, his vents cycling quickly as he eased the minor panic creeping in. But as long as it stayed on the inside, he was fine.)
"Max.." the therapist said softly after a moment, his hand outstretched once more to the other. "It's something to build, that you will have to work on, but I trust you. And I want to help you trust yourself if you'll let me. Considering what you just did, you should trust yourself. Because you've come a long way."
