Private Comfort

In truth he wasn't really sure how he was supposed to be feel. It was his first breakup, he definitely felt sad, but his other issues were definitely making it worse. So after the conversation with Chi he'd found himself wandering thr city.

Overall he had a lost look about him, that matched how he felt inside. It'd been a rough month, and he was a bit out of it. He'd occasionally stop to look at something before continuing on.

He was coming up on a bridge when he heard her voice, that happy demonic voice. He'd turn, "oh...uh...hey Mal," he'd tell her, his voice sounding defeated and far away. @Abbysaurus

"Huh?" he'd shake his head, "n-no....everything's fine, I'm fine." There was no confidence in his voice, and he seemed to shrink himself a bit. "I'm fine," he'd repeat, looking down at the ground.

He'd sigh. "Suppose there's no point in lying....and I don't want to lie to you, you deserve better than that," he'd look back up at her.

"Today just....," he'd shrug, "something happened, and I don't know what to think about it."

"Girlfriend broke up with me......," he'd tell her with a sigh. "Just been kinda, wandering around since." It'd been hours, but it hadn't felt like that long, or perhaps it someho felt longer, he wasn't sure.

"I know....I know its probably silly, me getting upset over this.....considering everything else were dealing with." Just, so much had happened to him in a relatively short period of time.

Rowan would look at her. "I'm sorry, I know I sound whiney."

He'd let her pull him along. "Its just....I think I've failed at pretty much everything," he'd say, hisvoice sounding a bit. "Cant seem to help my friends...or myself...couldn't even keep a relationship going."

In the distance they could see some sort of restuarant. "I......I wonder if maybe I deserve some of it," that was partly because the voice constant telling him he did.

Rowan would contact to follow her.

He'd enter the shop with her. "Yeah.....you've been a really good friend to," he'd glance down, "probably better than I deserve."

They'd take a seat, though he didn't order anything. "I......," he'd immediately go quiet, closing his eyes as the voices kicked in.

"You've been so nice," he'd say, "it....it means a lot to me."
