He's the center of attention, and all Nux's reassurances do is crowd him. He wants space. He wants to collect the tattered remains of his pride and retreat to never be seen by these two again. He would do it if he could manage it right now. Distantly he notes that Ryuzaki has disappeared.

He's too nauseous to feel anything about it. Cesar wipes the back of his mouth, shaking his head at a question that hadn't been asked. No, he's not going back to Shepherd's Haven with them.

Spreading his hands to usher the kid far enough away that he can stand unassisted, Cesar gets to his feet again, much like a colt on unsteady legs. Nux is given the wary sort of vigilance that comes from getting the impression that the kid would probably stick his fingers in a sick horse's mouth, if he thought the horse would choke on its sick otherwise.

Misa is ignored--very, very deliberately. He won't look at her. He can't lift his gaze past her feet.
