Holsten wasn't understanding where the anger was coming from or why she cared so much. She was the one that had up and abandoned him in the night without so much as a note. And even though they were simply friends, she clearly didn't respect him as much as he had her. Hell, he'd gone to help her instead of going straight to his own job. Weeks they'd spent together that he'd put off his employer. And then just like that, she was gone.
He'd tucked his tail and gone on his way. He'd finished his job in the area, brought back the requested relic and gone back on another job. Then another and another. He had to stay busy. That was the best route. Then the meter had come from his mom and he requested some extended time off. He was already regretting that decision.
"I rarely stay here," he said with a shrug before draining the last of his drink and motioned to the bartender for another. "Not that it matters," he continued on, "You would have just vanished from there like you did a tent." Of course, that was assuming he'd ever take her there.
