And, bizarrely, more than anything else, that little factoid helps Ben to feel calmer, saner, less like he's broken into pieces. Because yeah, his life is kind of fucked up and his head is more than a little fucked up and there's all kind of ugly psychological issues hiding just beneath the surface... but there are more than two dozen species of frog that can fit on a dime. And that's a wonderful thing. The world is big, and full of variety, and life, and tiny frogs, and all of that is entirely indifferent to him, and his issues.
Exhaling slowly, and shakily, he manages a very small smile and nods in the direction they came, as soon as Cho has got the little frog held securely between her hands.
"Wanna head out, before anything else decides to hop onto any other inappropriate parts of my body?"
See, he's even joking now! He's fine! Please forget about the whole crying thing, Cho. Best to pretend that had never happened.
