[Wade observes the two children's interactions like someone observing animals in the wild. It's probably not the most flattering of comparisons, but it's honestly how he feels-- as if he's watching the mannerisms of two small and skittish creatures. Wade's always prided himself on being able to read people, and whether these two know it or not, they're giving him quite a bit to pick up on.
Frisk's fingers tighten around Wade's hand, and so he doesn't let go. Their friend's grip, meanwhile, is stiff and uncomfortable, and so after a few seconds Wade loosens his hold on them, allowing them to let go if they wished.
He still doesn't understand what they're talking about. Or maybe he just doesn't want to. Better not to think of the worst. Better to focus on the immediate needs of two scared children who look more the worse for wear.]
