[Well if Red was to call it "pity" that Cilan was offering here, he might actually be offended by that--it's definitely not the word that should be used to describe this taste, but at the request, Cilan nods and pulls away, giving Red some space again.]
Okay... take as much time as you need, alright?
[He does sort of hesitate momentarily though, like he's not sure if he really should be just leaving you alone like this. However, he seems to come to some sort of decision and steps outside, leaving Red on his own. He doesn't get very far from the house right away though once the door's closed behind him, soon just standing out there, looking up above at the dark clouds now forming a more solid shape.
Is this really the best he can do here? He's supposed to be a Connoisseur, a Gym Leader, he should turn around and go back inside to give some kind of rousing speech or something, but... all he can think about is how much he wants to go find Ludger to yell at him a bit and maybe even, gasp, punch him, but as much as he would like to do that, he knows he won't do any such thing because that wouldn't be the proper thing to do here. Not when there's a voice of reason in mind pointing out that everyone was kind of having a bad time when Sosyne showed up, for all we know Ludger wasn't in his right mind and didn't intend to do what he did, but... it doesn't really make him feel any less angry and unhappy that someone had to suffer the consequences of that, and it had to be two of our close friends here who didn't deserve what happened to them and--
--and good thing he wasn't inside Red's house anymore and walked some amount of feet away from it, though Red might still be able to suddenly hear a very loud cracking of noise somewhere outside, followed by some very hurried footsteps and a muffled, hasty apology tossed to some random passerby. He also might be calling out Stunfisk to "do something about that fire" and I'm not saying that Cilan might have caused lightning to strike something after leaving your place, but... yeah okay that is exactly what I'm saying here.]
