Tarik snapped from his day dream, when Kat moved back and crossed her arms. He was annoyed by that break in the view, and was shocked when she said that he had been rude. Most of his interaction over past few years had been with groupies, and they never found him rude, this was shocker. He was struggling to come up with something to say, especially as he had meant it as a joke not to offend her.<br/><br/>"I did not mean it tha.. that ..", he struggled a bit to get the words out. But then he decided that an unconditional apology is the best way forward, the subtle nod to an older man, prompted him into action.<br/><br/>"I am so sorry", Tarik said with a sincere look in his eyes. He paused for a minute holding that look letting her know that he was genuinely sorry. " I was trying to make a joke, but my dry sense of humor ended up scraping you. So sorry about that."<br/><br/>He leaned forward on the table, as she was still sitting straight on her chair , with his hands folded in front of him. " I hope you will still help me solve some of the mysteries here. What is your favorite area of the resort?", he asked trying to restart the conversation, which had stumbled badly.
