[ Unfortunately for Lottie, Gen just ... stares in confusion for a moment at the shattered remains of her hand. Even if he were fully lucid he admittedly wouldn't know how to deal with this situation. But addled by the Innocence flowing through his veins, its effects further enhanced by his Legacy, he can't quite re-conciliate the sight of her damaged limb with his delusions at first.
Though for better or for worse, he does eventually bring what he's seeing in line with his hallucinations. At least enough to do more than just crouch before her with a puzzled look at his face. ]
Hey, stop -- [ No doubt that low mutter is lost beneath the sound of her hysterical sobbing at first, and Gen gives a disgruntled noise before leaning in to grab a hand at her shoulder and shake it. Not that hard, but not particularly gently either, just once. ] -- hey, shut up for a second.
[ And regardless of whether that works or not, he grabs her other hand -- the intact one -- by the wrist and jerks it up before she can't damage it any further with her clawing at the ground. ]
Shut up and listen.
[ He's, uh, unintentionally leaning in a little close there as he growls that demand. But at least he huffs and sits back on his haunches as soon as it looks like she's calmed down at least a little bit, giving her more room to breathe. ]
... you're gonna just hurt yourself more if you're gonna cry and scream like this. Let's at least get you somewhere quiet. -- can you stand up?
[ Not that he really thinks getting her somewhere quiet and safe will help with how badly she's shattered -- no, sprained her wrist, but at least it should keep her calm if she can focus on that one specific task, right? ]
