Erwan met Hayden's eyes for a second before he turned his gaze away. When Hayden looked at him like that, he couldn't quite look him in the eye. For some reason, it hurt and Erwan couldn't even explain why. He just felt so guilty and bothered because in some way he might be responsible for how events turned out. He knew that was silly. How could he be responsible for any of this? Shaking his head, he pulled his hand away and stepped back the way they had come.

"I'll be back in a few minutes. I just want to see what Chance is doing all this time. He worries me as much as you do..." Erwan shook his head again. "You should still try to eat something," he sighed. This was for the best. He couldn't let Hayden get too attached to him because he would never get what he wanted out of it. That just wasn't...the kind of man he was. With a last lingering look, he turned away to head back into the village, leaving Hayden behind.
