To say the sudden transformation from casual to overbearing was Jarring for Aoni would be an understatement; the dramatic shift in not only body posture and mood but also the slight aura rolling off the young man standing a few feet away from Aoni painted a picture of Arrogance unbefitting Damien, at least in his eyes.
"Aoni, I'm glad I met you, and I hope we can be friends for a long time; unfortunately, for now, I have to deal with some annoying family bullshit, so this is so long." Damien's voice came out prim and proper, with a strange edge to it, causing Aoni to take a single step away from him.
"Same here, Damien. I don't know what kind of trouble you are in, but if you need help, you have my contact info." Speaking while placing distance between them, because that's what he felt Damien wanted for some reason, Aoni nodded and pulled up the app on his Commu to get a ride.
