Larry shook his head.

“Not outside, maybe, but there’s a lot of things you can do from inside, no? It’s only temporary.”

Maybe it was the way his heart fluttered or some form of reaction, but feeling Aryin’s hand against his chest felt rather sensitive. It wasn’t a full achy feel, rather just feeling the hand on it triggered a wrong sensation. He moved away a bit though.

“So you did seek me out for this,” he stated flatly. “This doesn’t feel exactly like the women suitors from back home at all.”

It was sarcasm, but some truth. He was not a fan of the word or phrases, but how Aryin put it definitely made it seem like he came to “trap” him or “secure his bag.” Points being that Larry was green male fresh from another country with no clue this could happen. He got riled up enough to follow suit and now this happened. He took responsibility, that was not the issue. Just not being told is what stung. Didn’t he have a say in any of this?

“What’s going on with you isn’t your fault,” he continued. “I’m sure he can find some leniency in that. Nobody’s perfect.”

Larry was more so hoping so for his sake.
