[SE] for a moment I forget to worry

As Amalia came to stand next to him Emmett stepped a little to the side to give her space, followed her gaze out into the festival.

At first he didn't understand the question or have any idea how to answer it, but as he thought more he realised he did have a solution, just not....necessarily a good one. "Uh...we don' talk about it much, cos it'll just lead to a fight. I guess it depends on how y'Outlander person cares about everythin', how sensitive they are. Who...uh...who is it?"

He didn't like to be nosey, but he felt maybe some context could help here. "...It might matter when we come up against another barrier, or another stop of some kind, a fight...and we all argue again."

There's a saying where I come from
Playing 'round with fire gets you burned
Well, I'll wear my third degrees
And my heart upon my sleeve
