"Alright," he agreed. Historically, Walden wasn't the most communicative person, but he did feel like they needed to talk about it to keep it from happening again, though he didn't think he was talking about it by apologising. Katharina gave the obligatory reply, though he was feeling her love less and less. So he shut up and didn't say anything else that.
