[ It doesn't feel good for either of them, but what's done is done.
Chance feels like he has more he should say - try to answer more of Vero's questions, learn more about Vero as a person before they're thrust into another life or death situation together - but he looks at Vero and sees how drained he looks, and he's quick (almost too quick - his chair screeches against the floor) to stand up and take his mug with him. ]
Yeah, I- I'll leave you to your work. But thank you for talking with me. [ The words tumble from his mouth, clumsy, unelegant. He hates it. ] I'll see you later.
[ The only thing he's sure of, really, as he takes his coffee and leaves. It'll be another few days before Chance reaches out again - trying to be considerate of him, once again - but once the weekend rolls around he texts Vero some details about where he'll be and how to get there and invites him to join him in the spooky scary Shadow world for some fighting practice.
Regardless of whether Vero shows up or not, Chance is there. Because while Chance may have reservations in his everyday life, he doesn't have that sort of luxury here. He wants- no, he has to get stronger. For all of them. ]
