Gage hesitated. A part of him didn't expect Asha to back down so easily. He was pulling away and the other boy let him oh so easily. It was strange and nice and also bad at the same time. He was stubborn though so once he started pulling away, he'd continue through with the action. He dipped his head in a farewell he didn't even know if Asha was looking in the right direction to see. "Bye. It was nice," he echoed. But it wasn't like he needed friends right now so leaving was best. Even if he might want to ask about the orchestra and music. He just didn't. Feeling along the tree's trunk, he found a low branch and climbed up. Without another word, just a last glance down, he took his bat form and flew away.
