Honestly, seeing Tommy choke and splutter like that...maybe he shouldn't laugh, and he does still ache over missing Wanda, but the look is still so comical that he can't help it, lifting a hand to cover his mouth as he grins. "I'm just sad I missed it, honestly," he says, still chuckling, though the look softens and fades as Nida mentions his parents. "But yeah. I know what you mean."
He'd seen what happened to Nida's parents, after all. He knew. But now wasn't a time for those memories. Now was a time to make new ones, to share things with people he cares about. "See, I keep telling you, Tommy, you definitely need to learn ballroom dancing," he teases his twin, leaning over with an elbow before picking up his drink again and taking a long swallow. The warmth it gives him is nice, but the warmth the company gives is even nicer. "It's not just for nerds, just look at Nida." And that warm smile is directed at Nida next, his look maybe a little softer than it should be.
