Well, okay. Not exactly what he was hoping for, but at least it's an answer. He takes a breath, looking around at the goings-on around them. Natalie can play it as nonchalant as she likes, but he's come to know that when she acts that way? Something is definitely bothering her.

"Do you, um," he begins hesitantly, finally looking back at her, "want to talk about it? Somewhere else, or... later, even?" Or not at all? he adds silently. He's not the person to come to about your personal troubles, but... she's his girlfriend. If he can't be there for her, what good is he? And besides, they kind of made a pact to talk about things anyway, right?
