[Leo sighed, flopping onto the beanbag chair with a defeated slump. He felt like he should have an answer, or at least pretend to have one.]
Wish I knew. Cause it was hard, I guess?
[He swung out an arm to grab Donnie's opposite shoulder, pulling him into something that was not exactly a hug given their current seating/laying arrangement, but the sentiment was there.]
Just keep being there for Annie. I think she needs you more than she'll admit.
[Especially since he had the feeling she wouldn't want to be seeing much of him for a while once he gave her the news about her dad.]
[Donnie immediately stiffens at he contact, taking a moment before managing to relax a little beneath Leo's arm. It's something, even if he finds that small comfort at odds with what seems like such a monumental responsibility. It's not that he'd ever give up on Anemone- he'd told her as much. But he just wishes that she would be able to have a break for all that keeps seeming to happen.
He nods a tiny nod, shrinking in upon himself even more, if just a little closer to Leo's beanbag as can be managed.]
