Normally, Peiter would have offered to help Tzirret without hesitation, but listening to the prior conversation, he wondered if that was a good idea. The whole issue that Tzirret had been attempting to address with his actions was that he wanted to stop himself from being seen as a coward that was entirely dependent on others. The last thing Peiter wanted to do at the moment was to accidentally treat him like a child. "I...don't know." Peiter whispered to Sabine. "The reason this happened was because Tzirret wanted to show that he isn't a child; that he can take care of himself. If I go in there trying to comfort him, what if he just sees it as an example of how we don't think he can take care of himself? I want to make sure he knows that I think he can handle this situation himself."

Despite his reasoning, Peiter ran his hands down his face in his uncertainty. "But, on the other hand, everyone needs the support of their friends and family at least occasionally. There's nothing abnormal, or coward-like about leaning on your friends for support when you need it. But will Tzirret know that? I just...don't want to make anything worse." He explained.
