He looks at her then shakes his head, "Something apocalyptic.....I need to hurry on the vaccine."<br/><br/>Aerius sips his drink then looks at her, "But I won't trouble you with it right now. How was your year?"<br/><br/>He listened to her eating his sandwich. In the back of his mind, he was trying to push the worry off his mind.<br/><br/>'It's not here yet....I'll have it done in time....I just hope I can make enough....', he thought. He nods until she decides to bring up him avoiding her....assuming she thought this would be a good time to bring it up. If she does, he chokes a bit on his drink. Aerius wipes his mouth and looks at her slightly shocked, "You thought I avoided you?"<br/><br/>He looks slightly hurt then says, "I wasn't trying to...I was trying to give you time to adjust to the college life. It's a handful the first year. Very busy, getting settled, trying to figure out all the adult decisions. It was easy for me because I was doing it for years but you didn't have to. Plus you got a boyfriend during that time."<br/><br/>His voice quivered slightly at the end of that sentence.<br/><br/>"Honestly, I thought you were too busy for me and I didn't want to be a distraction. I'm sorry I made you feel that I was avoiding you."<br/><br/>Aerius's eyes meets hers, "I never want to make you feel bad about anything."
