Mathias and I both look at each other in silence right after that.
"Uhh...he…" I look back as much as the chair allows me to.
Elian's back is slowly retreating to a smaller size as he walks away in harsh angry strides. A sigh erupts from my mouth, almost too sudden and involuntary. I really thought we were kissing up to the higher nobles today at this party and we managed to even seat ourselves with one. A very annoying one but still a higher noble. Whichever way it worked.
But he just decided to walk away? If I hadn't spent much time with him, I would have believed that he is totally in love with Adian. And that he is jealous. But a lot more seems to be going on down there than just bubbles on the surface.
"My apologies." I wish, even though I knew deep down that he didn't deserve such an apology at all.
Nada.
If you asked me, Elian's reaction is completely expected and deserved. But things work differently in the real world.
