He needed to get out of here before he made things worse - and it looked like he was doing just that from the way that she looked at him with a similar sort of disappointment that his father often sported.
"I apologize but I really ought to... ought to... ought to be..." He took a few steps backward almost tripping over his own feet as he did so. Get it together man! Forcing himself to take a determined, albeit shaky, inhale he then bravely (or pretending to be so) turned to face Alora forcing the most strained of smiles. "It was nice to see you again, Alora." And he meant it, whether she liked the encounter or not.
Giving her one last look he nodded his head with a soft "hm" then turned, with his head lowered hurriedly walked away sure not to look anyone in the eye as he did so. One conversation with someone (let alone a blast from the past) was enough excitement for one day. Now he wanted to promptly return home, scamper into his bed, and cower under the covers for about a year.
