It was always when someone else said "it's nothing" that they meant there was something...just something they did not want to discuss with anyone. And he was little more than an acquaintance at this point, so it was not exactly his place to demand he talk about it.

Still, he could offer some advice. "Even if you don't feel comfortable discussing it with me, you should find someone you do. Even if you're not expecting such, it may help."
