Rua tried to keep eye contact, to keep looking in Ezhno's direction but his eyes eventually just landed on his food, stabbing lightly at it with a fork. Would they repeat their first parting of ways? Leave on somewhat shady terms and not talk for years until out of the blue return? He didn't want that. That was terrible. It made him miserable. He pushed his food around, losing his appetite.From the corner of his eyes, Rua could see Ezhno wiping at his face. Though without looking right at him, he didn't know whether the wiping could be because of tears or if food or something like that. Or it could just be his imagination playing with him.
He turned two him when Ezhno spoke, face tinting pink. Was it the food and drink or embarrassment? Rua wished it were the former but it was the latter. Most definitely the embarrassment. Did he want to talk about them? Yes! No! Maybe? "Is there even an 'us'?" Rua replied. He decided that he can't look him in the face now. He just couldn't. If he looked, he might just crack.
"What would we even talk about?" Ezhno was going to be leaving. They wouldn't see each other for much longer. Did they even have a chance? Well he supposed that is what they should talk about. Since when did he become such a pessimist? Rua put his food on the table and took his glass in hand. They would have to talk. They needed to.
