( it's a vague nonanswer which just makes jason all the more suspicious. he pauses to take a breath, lets it out through his lips before he's dropping down onto knees beside caroline. non threatening. he's lower than her, his shoulders are loose, eyes a lot kinder than when he wears his normal snarky expression. it almost doesn't quite match, but. )

Help what? You can talk to me. ( jason wouldn't say shit if it was the other way around. he does lighten his voice a little. tries to be softer. if she is sick, it's better to know now than later. if it is a--narco addiction, better to know about it now than figure it out later. )
