Arrested Development

                  He's not entirely sure what's it with the no offense thing. Is it                  some sort of emotional spell he just doesn't get that makes                   whatever one says entirely acceptable?

                  — not that he really wants to ask, either.

      "Oh? Do you have such horrid impressions of me?"

Arrested Development

                  The suggestion alone, holding the implication in between mere                  statement and accusation (a thing hard to tell with Thanos, as                  it always had been), makes him halt. Not long; not much more                   than a moment to give a long glance at his acquaintance. 

                  (He'd like to object. Say he knows exactly what he's doing. But                  he assumes it would be identified as a lie before it even left his                  lips, so he leaves it at that.)

                  Expectation would be quite a stretch of the word, for he                  finds himself in surprise upon her. A thing very few do                   manage. She is familiar; something within his very own                  soul echoing to the aura of power practically dripping of                  her, and it does take a few heartbeats to figure out why                  she is. How — unexpected, indeed.

                  (If not for the deep bound he still has while connecting                  to the gems in the past, it is likely her identity would                   remain a mystery to him. Of course it is barely running                  as far as the connection to his own Soul Gem would                   be, but time spent near them has still left scars burned                  down into himself.)

                  However, surprise is a thing gone quickly from his mind,                  and one he would even less allow to show.

      " — who?"

                  It is a little less that he is in fact lost at who she                  means, though. It might just be a tiny jab of —                   jealousy indeed that he is not wanting to admit.                  Which he cannot keep entirely from his face;                  flashing over it for just a second. 

                  There is but an irritated blink.                         (Exactly what is happening and of what interest                          is the relationship they share to a stranger?)

Lorde 

                  She does not talk about her feelings usually; that is one                   of those things they always had in common. Sure; the                   way of expressing them was far different — a thing he                   tended to avoid whenever he could, emotions locked up                  within his soul for as much as he could. 

                  He has disappointed her; left her, hurt her, and he does                  know as much. Even if he does like to run from his past                  (as much as from the future or anything uncomfortable),                  there is little use denying to what he has done to her.

                  Even if not willingly. 

                  He remains silent for a while, eyes barely matching up to                  her face. Staying so perfectly still it would be far easy                   assuming that once again, he is rather locked up inside                   his own world and not paying attention to her. 

                  He does listen to her, he has heard her just well. Words,                  as easy as they do come at other opportunity, always do                  make for a loss when it is regarding her. Admitting such                  is not a thing he will do (or allow to dwell all to much on                  how she sets things in motion within his own mind that he                  thought lost when he had forsaken the flesh long ago).

                  Although one could wonder whether that would just drive                  her away entirely, and how far his fragile sanity would be                  able to stand such thing. 

      "It will not be a necessity."

                  A lie, a promise just awaiting to be broken.
