He was continuing to berate himself for the incomprehensible to the average ear slew of words. Even if she had the ability to hear exactly what he had said, he still would have felt like an idiot. He gave a weak smile to the gorgeous girl as she told him why she had come to the party. "That's really nice of you," he said. He looked over at Mao, who had obviously had a fair amount to drink. There was a chance he would have to do something similar. His attention went back to the girl. His mind also seemed to again become a bit of a jumbled mess.
He managed to nod in response to her question. Normally he didn't have much of an issue telling people why he had never really been out before this year, but for some reason, he felt embarrassed by it now. He kind of hoped that he wouldn't have to get into it. His body had begun to shake a little. He hoped it wasn't noticeably yet, but just in case it was, he tried to refocus the energy into one of his legs. Why was he such an idiot? "Ijustwenttothe..." he stopped himself from continuing his overly fast speech. He took a breath and tried to slow his heart rate. It didn't work, but he was able to speak normally now. "I got invited to a Halloween concert, and enjoyed it. Plus I have a friend who likes these things," he explained. "Not sure about the drinking though," he told her.
