for a moment, zagreus is utterly speechless. he doesn't know how to address that loneliness and to know that he's inflicted such a horrid feeling on yuna. so he stares, eyes wide, and mouth slightly open ; his shock and speechlessness so plain. it's all in a split second that, perhaps he should finally put down what he's doing ( even if he had just started - their conversation taking priority over something he can always come back to ). when he does, zagreus could only lean forward in his seat, elbows on his knees and hands tented in thought. ❛ i ... ❜ was it something he's done? or how he's been behaving lately? the godling doesn't know, and frankly, he doesn't notice how he's behaved as of late.
everything has felt so ... distant? blank? monotonous? he has no specific word for it.
❛ i'm sorry. ❜ is all that comes out of his mouth, ❛ i didn't ... i didn't realize. ❜ which is the honest truth, zagreus, in all of his confidence and constant outgoing dispostion, he often has a period of time where he is so uncharacteristically silent. like he's wandering, aimless, searching for something and maybe he is and just doesn't know what. but that's no excuse for the way yuna says this to him, he should be doing better, he has to do better. if not for him, but for her. she doesn't deserve this type of behavior. ❛ i'll do better, i promise - i ... don't mean to neglect you, yuna. i mean it. ❜
