Justin hadn't exactly paid attention to Susan's explanation after she announced that her leg was 'better.' That's all he needed in reply really. So as she talked he stared across the room and watched a portrait of two old men playing a game of wizard's chess. It was then that he realized how very bored he'd been with their entire situation. Whether it were his fault, her fault, or no one's fault in particular he wasn't entirely sure.
The question she asked next, however, had hardly been anticipated. He'd been under the impression that his asking her without the stipulation of 'going as friends' was enough to clarify the 'status' of it being a date. But now that Susan asked - Justin suddenly wondered if she were having second thoughts on the matter. A slightly uncomfortable and sick feeling knotted in his stomach. The immediate sign of guilt.
"Er..." he looked over at her obviously baffled by the question. Hhe shrugged and shook his head, "I-Yeah, if you'd rather go as friends. It wasn't what I had in mind, but if it'd make you more comfortable... we can do that." He smiled and nodded as enthusiastically as he could manage - which was forced through and through. Absently he wondered where this left them now.
