"That's..." he trailed off when no words came, eyebrows furrowing. Well, there had been some words, but nothing that would've been appropriate ('fucked up' and 'weird' had both been options). There was a reason why he never delved too deep with people: there were some things he couldn't just shrug off with a witty joke and a grin. He ended up just clearing his throat and saying, "Sorry. I didn't know."

It was a genuine apology, for what little that was worth.
