[Red's body eases while Blue's goes rigid and he begins moving his hand up and down over his friend's back. There's something in Red that just innately drives him to comfort people - people, Pokémon, animals. He's a nurturer. And if Blue is scared, well...

'Course.
[There's a short pause and he adds, hoping that maybe this will sum up his message:]
