If he isn't careful, the same thing can happen to him. He blinks slowly, staring into the pit's blackness, before he lets out a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding and steps away from his podium.
He'll be keeping his head down on the way back, avoiding anyone's looks. This is two for two, twins-wise, and it's not like he's been particularly quiet about his own (and the lengths he'd go to for her, to some people). ]
