She flinched back briefly - startled by his sudden voice ringing out amongst the still silence. Had she . . . been staring too hard? Stealing glances with unease at the man she barely knew. Thats right. They are practical strangers even despite having attended the same school. All those years they barely said a word to one another. Perhaps part of that was her own fault. Having rarely approached anyone in those childhood days. He had always been seemingly surrounded by others, drawing attention wherever he went. Even then - would he have spoken back?
Anxiously she toyed with delicate digits. A nervous habit that has stuck with her much to her dismay.
❝ I - It's just that. . . we have never really s - spoken before. ❞
Words escaped her meekly. They weren't friends. She wasn't one of those who pursued him endlessly with faith that he would return. It almost didn't feel right that despite their lack of familiarity she was relieved to see he was alive at the very least. Not wanting to give him the wrong impression either that she had ulterior motives in approaching him.
❝ I just - I wanted to say that . . . I'm glad you're alright. B - but that probably sounds a bit ridiculous since we don't really know each other. . . ❞
Even so she never really had any ill intent or wishes upon him. Even if she was slightly intimidated by the man. She was sure he had his own reasons for leaving the way he did - ones she couldn't fathom or understand. Still - she was glad his path regardless kept him alive.
