[One ear folds back in thought, and he refrains from adding anything self-derisive. In the end, both ears tuck back as he shifts his weight.]

...I'm. going to need a little help sitting back down. I feel like I'll fall. Is that alright?

[Despite being marginally taller than Logan, Alivian slightly ducks his head and peers at him in worry.]
