[ Hearing that he will see Jugram again fills Bazz with a feeling of relief so strong he almost staggers. So this is not the end of the cautious amicability between them. ]
Oh. Good. [ How eloquent. It’s not like Bazz is known for having a way with words, but still. That was embarrassing. ] I’ll see you around, I guess.
[ Maybe he shouldn’t trust Jugram so easily, a dark part of his mind whispers. Maybe he’s just going to be left behind again. But Bazz knows where he lives now, and he can track him down if need be. For a moment, he feels absurdly safe, as though he’s been wrapped in a cozy blanket, even as Jugram tells him how dangerous everything is.
He doesn’t promise not to fight anything, though. That’s asking way too much.
Leaving is awkward, filled with a stilted silence as though there are words hanging in the air between them, desperate to be communicated. But Bazz needs some time to think. Some time to adjust. Which is a weird feeling, him being the one needing space from Jugram, but if he leaves first then he’s in control of the situation. So he says an uncomfortable goodbye and walks to the door. ]
