Well, at least the girl had taken his surrender for what it was. Miah had enjoyed the short snowball fight, but his body – namely his hands – were appreciative that it had come to an end. The game had served to lighten his spirits some, though the events of earlier still weighed heavily on his mind, even if Ellie had taken the news exactly as he would have expected her to. Shoving his hands into his pockets, he gave the girl a relaxed smile as they got nearer to each other. He wasn’t necessarily in the mood for talking, but company into the building would be welcome at least.
When he reached her side, he inclined his head towards the nearest building as if to ask ‘Are you headed in?’ Maybe actually introducing himself would have been the proper thing to do, but he had never followed ‘proper protocol’ all that well when it came to social norms. Without waiting for an answer really he began to move towards the building, the warmth of the indoors calling to him.
