Thinking...

He looked away for a few moments and glared at a small rock. So I'm acting tough am I? He ground his teeth, and made himself calm down. Rubbing the back of his neck he said bluntly, 'A habit I guess.' Then continued to look at the rock, though his expression was no longer angry.
Suddenly he turned back to her and said, 'Sorry about that.' Then looked back down, not sure what to say next.
He had never apoligized to anyone.

He fought back a swell of rage and ground his teeth. He knew she was trying to be nice, but she didn't realize what she said. Standing up abruptly he said, 'I'll see you later.' And walked away quickly, entering the shadows of the trees.
He needed to be alone for awhile. Like he had been planning on when he'd first came.
