Gilded Bay Going down

Last post from me!

Words were hard, clearly. Her unamused expression was drawn blanker still as she stared at him and waited for a reply. The silence stretched for what felt like an eternity before he finally replied. No. Well that wasn't so hard now was it? "I see." At least they had that little question resolved. Now it was just a matter of where to go from here.

This time it was on her for the lengthy stretch of silence. She looked at him and realized she had nothing more to say. No questions. No nothing. They were simply occupying each other's time. Time, that could be better spent on other things. "Good day, then," she replied suddenly as she excused herself and slipped away.
