Rep gave Jordan a somewhat startled look, not sure if his request was to him, or just Harrison, surely not him. Still, the fact there was even that uncertainty surprised him.
"I..I'll .."
He couldn't come up with words and simply gave up, fight or flight kicking in as he stalked out of the room, as soon as he was in the hallway going from a brisk walk to a flat out run, startling a few hunters along the way with his madly blood soaked appearance. He wasn't going to go near the showers, the sea would suffice.
He just needed to get away.

That got through to him. But then something shadowed across his expression, and without even answering, Rep was gone.
"He just needs some time," Harrison supplied awkwardly.
Like he has a lot of time in the first place.
Shut the ******** up.
Harrison reached to squeeze Jordan's hand. "...I'm going to take some of the sushi. In case he wants some. When he gets back." He still had the lunch box in his jacket. He quickly and unceremoniously shoveled three plates worth into the box and pocketed it, like he'd been robbing a jewelry counter instead of getting their leftovers.
"Okay," he said, that done.
He took Jordan's hand again, this time holding on to it, close and firm. Wanting to support him. Wanting to apologize. Wanting them all to come back to the room, like it was okay, and maybe they still would. Maybe tomorrow just meant... Harrison's expression crumpled briefly and he held Jordan's hand tighter than he meant to.
"I won't let it happen," he told him, but the words barely came out at all, sounding scared instead of reassuring.

"I know," Jordan said, barely audible. He laced his fingers into Harrison's. After a moment, he added, "Simon didn't specify he had to come alone." He managed a ghost of a smile. "I need to clean up. Come on."
