It's though his words were poison. The man sunk deeper into himself. Should he defy physics and be swallowed into the earth, Abel would only be half shocked.

I won't hurt you or anything... Perhaps the stranger would find more comfort in Abel's retreat than his word. His body lowered as he slunk back. Only when he'd given the man room to breathe did he hesitantly speak up again.

See? We're, uh, cool.

But despite an admittedly terrible attempt in solace, the man stayed wound up tight. Not being one to deviate from his solitary nature, Abel took that as a sign to shuffle away from the scene.
