[He shrinks back into the corner, burying his face in his arms as soon as he's caught a glimpse of that twisted shadow. That's nothing he wants to see, and besides- he's holding out hope that if he can't look at Henry, if there's nothing he can see that his control would act on, maybe it won't.
That's a futile hope. He isn't sure whether he wants Henry close, wants the comfort despite the danger to them both, or whether he wants him to just leave, and when his power reaches out it's similarly conflicted. It latches on to Henry, nudges him a few steps forward before coming to an abrupt, jerky stop and all but shoving him backward. The motions are poorly controlled, unrestrained, and it's just as likely to send him actually sprawling as it is to bring him to a stop.
Ryan can feel it working, clinging harder to himself with a stifled, distressed sound-- no, this isn't what he wanted, he just wants it to stop, to let go.]
You need to go.
[With that, his power reacts again, with more purpose this time, and forces Henry back against the wall.]
