[ is standing near the entrance of the starbucks where he had first met nathan, looking strangely compliant & calm as he listens & reacts (as quietly & discreetly as he's capable) to the bustling crowd of the afternoon. it's not so busy as to give him a headache, but busy enough to keep him entertained as he waits for his teammate/friend. ]

[ finally lets his hand fall before sighing, not sure if he should reply honestly to that or not. just opts for his usual, sounding a little tired. ]

I guess, yeah...

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ turns his face into nathan's palm a little to strengthen the contact. ]

Is promise!

[ shakes his head in some kind of fond amusement, simply putting his hands on his hips instead. ]

Anyway, you should probably go home too. [ pauses. ] Unless you want to go back to Aaron and Hana.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

Erm. I go tell Herr Aaron I protect Nathan and Nathan go home. Then go.

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

... you could always call him, you know.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

But see person is good!

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

[ gently pushes his head away, almost playfully. ]

But unnecessary.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ goes along with the push, but bounces right back. ]

But important!

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

[ sighs heavily, as if it's such a big deal. --then gets an idea. ]

But what if I didn't want you to go see him?

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ grows subdued immediately. ]

. . . today?

[ lightly knocks his head with a hand once. ]

I didn't mean it.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ blinks. ]

. . . erm. So is okay? See Herr Aaron?

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

D'uh. Besides, I'm not your owner or anything, you know. You can do what you want.

[ just kind of. scratches his own head. ]

Alright, if that's what you want to do...

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ looks entirely pleased with himself, beaming. ]

Danke!

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

[ rolls his eyes up to the sky, slightly amused. changes their direction, heading off towards the general area of where he lives. seems to hesitate briefly, and then: ]

It's not like, right around the corner, though... are you sure you want to walk all the way there with me? I'm fine going alone.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ catches up to nathan so that he's no longer trailing behind & walking beside. ]

Am okay! I want to go with Nathan.

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

Well... if you're sure.

[ glances at him in the corner of an eye, then goes silent as they go along. ]
