He started to panic. He was out of practice handling Narim and he would have to remember quickly or he'd be paying for it until he did. He was saying the wrong things in the wrong ways and bringing it on himself. He didn't trust himself to say anything else so he shut up and glanced at Narim apologetically before turning his gaze to the floor so he didn't have to meet his dark, angry eyes.
