As Andrei scanned over the faces one more time, he looked back to size up Suki. She was around his height, maybe a little bigger than him. God, his stomach twisted as he thought about Rook, what were to happen if he came out of nowhere and... He didn't want her to see that. Goddamnit, he didn't want her to see him like this anymore. His skin itched with sweat and anxiety, the sun burning into his epidermis even further.
Shaking his head lightly, he finally ignored his anxieties and follow Suki into the woods, eyeing her suspiciously as agitation and distress radiated off of him. Nonetheless, he followed, quiet as ever besides shaky breathing as they disappeared into a much calmer area. As soon as the trees blocked out both the sea and the sun, he seemed a little more... normal now.
Hey, ah... your name is... Suki, right? Suki, I-- Not sure if we've talked before but I'm Andrei, sorry I didn't say much earlier. And, uh, sorry for being such a mess. I didn't think I'd be this bad. Just- Sorry, yeah.
