Chapter 222: Argument and a bun
"It happens to the best of us.. Does that mean that you acted like I did last night before? Back in your world?" Zaque asked, his gaze on Coco.
Coco froze and she blinked owlishly, not expecting for Zaque to turn the question back to her.
"Well.. No, not really, but my friends who get wasted do act like that sometimes." Coco smiled softly at him and raised a hand, patting his shoulder in a reassuring manner, "So, you don’t have to be embarrassed, okay?"
Zaque nodded his head slowly, but the shame and guilt he was feeling is still lingering.
"I’ll do my best." He murmured, watching as Coco bought her hand back to her side and turned to the freshly baked bread on the tray.
"Do you mind if I take some of these with me? I’ll be hitting the bath once I get back to the inn and have to leave as soon as I can so I don’t have time to eat breakfast." Coco asked politely, pointing at one of the buns on the corner.
"Not that I have time to eat breakfast at all." Coco hummed out mindlessly.
It was just a passing statement, one that she usually does on a daily basis, and don’t have any meaning behind it, but the mediator beside her felt his heart drop to his stomach.
"I can only eat on the way to the mountain so I usually have packed breakfast with me, but it wouldn’t hurt to have a snack while I’m working, right? Besides, I love the bread you bake." Coco was quick to assure him, laughing quietly.
