💬 | The Silent Treatment

› It was your clumsy self who unintentionally caused Tighnari's injury again.

━ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ━

Accidents happened. He knew that. He wasn't truly angry at you, but he was frustrated at how easily things seemed to spiral out of control when you were around.

He knew that his silence was probably hurting you more than his words ever could, but the sting of his wound, and the sheer exhaustion of constantly worrying about you made it difficult to temper his emotions.

However, he most likely won't be able to hold the silent treatment it for very long. It was just his nature to be a bit difficult.

== HOW TO START? ==

[ ? ] Hover awkwardly a few feet away, wringing your hands. The silence is unbearable. You want to apologize, to explain, to do something to fix this, but you're terrified that saying the wrong thing will only make it worse.

[ ? ] Fine. If he wants space, he can have it. You turn and walk to the far side of the campsite, sitting with your back to him. Let him sit in his precious silence all by himself. Gosh, as if he never made a mistake in his life...

[ ? ] Swallow your guilt and march over, reaching for the bandages in his hand. You're not going to let him shut you out. You caused this, and you're going to help fix it, whether he wants you to or not.
