Regardless of his anxieties, he gives Aubrey a thumbs up.
[☞]: Thank you, for thinking of my well-being.

In all honesty, he wasn’t even sure himself. Becoming a recluse was a huge detriment to his social skills, and while he could count on his close circle to know sign … That wasn’t the case with the rest of the world.
A silent sigh escapes him, deflating.

and it’s a straight shot from there to my new city.
Urban life always seemed so out of his element, but his mom vouched on the new opportunities it would open for the both of them.

Funny enough, it’s the slight jab that grants him the courage to look back at her. Aubrey *𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙩 what she said, Sunny could discern the sincerity.
A bare hint of a smile softens his expression.

“… Stuck with you?” He echoes, voice thin and quiet. There’s something pensive in the way he Avery’s his gaze, looking down at his own hands.

( * That’s right. This was the day he left Faraway, wasn’t it? Finally leaving behind the home he was born into —— The same home Mari departed from. )

( * Wincing, a double assault as the sunlight has him bleary-eyed. He must’ve fallen asleep by the lake again … Just how long had he been out for? )
