If he were to say he wasn't worried about approaching the person he held most dearly right now, it would probably be a lie... Would he be angry? Frustrated? In all honesty, he wouldn't blame him if he was...
He couldn't just stand around not saying anything though.
"Sorry that I haven't talked to you in a while..." He was hiding the worry he felt well and bracing himself for whatever might be said. "How've you been lately?"
The bar's expression changed in so many ways as he saw the man who was approaching him, but none of them were delight. Instead, his eyes showed surprise and shock, his mouth drawn tight with the exception of a small part between his lips, and then all of his body settled into a hesitant, apprehensive stance. He was leaning away without even realizing it.
With a guarded gaze, he couldn't say that it was all right they hadn't talked. He couldn't accept the apology without a reason, and instead, he shook his head from side to side. "...I haven't...been very good...have...have you?"
