Yes. Well, that might be because he was withholding the bad news, for now. Had he been in his normal state of mind, he would not have held back and given Errol a thorough status update. But he found emotions to be a wild, temperamental, unpredictable things that lived inside each one of them, and they twisted and compromised what rationality and honesty he had left within him.
He found himself shrinking away from Errol's gaze, looking to the shelves beside them and then to the floor. A guilty man's tell. An innocent man's naivety. The trouble with finding your way around the unfamiliar emotions can manifest in the inability to mask them.
"I... have more to tell you. Some other time." He swallowed and turned towards the door, an unsaid goodbye conveyed instead through a small nod and a flicker of his gaze.
