Gustave chuckles, jogging a few steps to catch up with her. He doesn't really have a reason for why he hesitated, just that it's hard for him to be here just like he knows it must be hard for those he... left behind. If he knows Lune and Sciel at all, and Gustave likes to think he does, they looked after Maelle like he'd hoped they would, but it was strange, standing here now, feeling like he had to apologise or say something to make it all right, when it felt like anything but.
"Still working," he adds as he continues to walk by her side. That brusqueness had never offended him and actually, he'd always found it endearing and honestly, it helped pick him up when he couldn't do it himself. "Left's right so far." Another bad joke, but he hoped bad enough to make her laugh.
