The panic set in. She was leaving, and this wasn't going to be resolved, and he'd have no way to go after her because his leg was broken and was one mishap away from being magically bound to the bed by the nurse. He found the strange urge to grab her hand as she moved away from the bed, but he missed by a few inches and instead held up his open palm in a 'wait' motion.
"No - wait," he said. "We can... uh.. we can talk about what's wrong. I just-" Cammie sighed, trying to find the correct way to phrase it so he didn't (a) sound like a bumbling fool, or (b) say anything that would further upset her. "I was wrong," he added. "Wrong to ignore you. This whole year."
Silence. He waited for her, hoping she wouldn't blow it off or continue on her way as if he'd said nothing. Usually he could physically prevent her from leaving for long enough to to get a word out, or at least chase her if she escaped, but he was... pretty helpless right now, and he hated it.
