It was the words more than the tone that caught Dorito's attention, feeling a bit of concern. It showed on her face, in a change in her body language, suddenly respecting Hal's space a bit more but showing a stronger need to offer physical contact. "Alright, alright..." She kept pace with him surprisingly well, looking up at him as she walked.

"But... You okay?" Her tone changed to a surprisingly sincere and sympathetic one. She quite enjoyed teasing Hal, finding his stuffiness an unending source of amusement, but this was one of a few occasions where she showed something other than her teasing or flirtatious sides. Heck, this might be the first time. "I mean, I'll drop it but... Seriously, is everything alright?"

She doubted Hal would open up at all, but she still asked him.

"It's not like anything actually ever goes okay with me," Hal muttered under his breath. His voice was so low it would have been hard to hear for anyone else but him. He didn't let it show on his face but his demeanor gave it away -- he kept his arms crossed in front of him, one of his hands seemingly fiddling with something in his fist.

When he turned his gaze to Dorito, it was as if she was staring at dark rain cloud with the look he gave her. The electric blue of his eyes seemed misty for a moment before he spoke, "It doesn't concern you so you don't need to know about it, okay?"

"I.." Dorito faltered, then dropped it. "Alright, sorry." she was good at reading people, and she wasn't getting by Hal any time soon. She rubbed her arm self-consciously, but at the same time she kept herself close, kept at his pace when he walked.

"Well... At the least wanna go grab a bite? Maybe celebrate with a meal somewhere?" She gave him another of those hopeful and sincere little smiles. Maybe taking his mind off all of this dour gloom would be the right choice?

Hal tried to study the little goblin's expression at her invitation. She didn't seem like she had any of her ulterior motives -- if he would actually let himself admit it, Dorito looked really sincere. Like she did want to reach out to him.

But Hal wouldn't really give her that luxury. He didn't want to just end up vomiting out words that he'd probably regret. It was hard for him to get back up after bringing in such a gloomy topic -- heck it might actually take him hours before he could get back up to a less darker mood.

A heavy sigh passed his lips, contemplating for just a moment. "I'm not really in the mood right now," he muttered, pulling his bag up his shoulders, securing them. "I'll just see you around some other time." Without anything more to say, he picked up his pace and turned the other way, praying to god Dorito wouldn't follow after him.
