The previous day…
Clyde and Xenia were on their way back to the Hasbin gulf, opting to take the teleporter at Almes for a swifter arrival. After Rein had taken on their request, he ordered them to head back to the gulf and wait for him there, for a meeting that he was planning.
An awkward air lingered between the 2 as they walked, Xenia trying to get her mind off of it by kicking a pebble in front of her as she stepped. They continued like that until about halfway to the teleporter, when Clyde coughed, breaking the silence.
"Look, Xenia… I apologize for what I said and how I acted," Clyde put his head down in shame, which startled the girl, frantically waving her hands in front of her in embarrassment.
