Hands were there to help him for one second and then they were gone.
He assumed Datolite had been miffed at getting youma juice on her, judging by the not-so-discreet exclamation she'd cut herself off from saying. The giant Lieutenant continued about the same time as Datolite began wandering off, which wasn't exactly unexpected with the short attention span she...
..... she wanted to climb into the youma's mouth after him?
Had she really been upset over the thought of him dying?
The smirk disappeared from his face as he worked to slowly straighten up his outfit, ignoring the two things pinned on it (though he was pretty sure he saw the grey glob wiggle, christ). He felt like an a*****e and didn't even begin to know what to say to right things, especially after the callous tease he'd just made at her expense.
But then she was rolling with the comments, laughing at the older girl and shrugging off the comments altogether. He glanced in her direction but she was already making her way out of the room, strolling along like Datolite tended to do.
Very confused and still very slimy, the Lieutenant sighed, shrugged his shoulders as he watched the stranger run off to her other companions, then slowly made his way in the direction of Datolite's departure.
He had some apologizing to do.
..... Maybe.
