It's a lot for both of them, and it's obvious.

His breath is shaky as he brings down his face away from his eyes which have just the slightest glint of tears he's holding back. Frustration tears? Emotional ones? Who even knows at this point but he doesn't let them fall, he holds back the emotion the best he can.

"Yes, I like having choices, but sometimes, they're too much?" he half asks, half tells her like he's still working through the explanation. So much about this new world was overwhelming and it was hard enough to have to decide what he wanted to eat, some nights recently he'd just skipped doing it because it was too much to his brain.

"How, what did I -- what did we do when I got overwhelmed in my brain before?" he asks quietly. "I don't want to have to search for what they are or ask, maybe you could, try some of them and I could tell you yes or no? Then it's still my choices?"

He bites his lower lip after he says it, that sounds more attainable to him. "I think I can handle choices between two things, but more then that is too much right now."
