The apology combined with that rather alarmed look in his very blue eyes gives Waver pause… Well, shit. He didn’t mean to do that! And the mage felt bad now…! Really doing great at this whole dating thing, aren’t you? he thinks somewhat self-deprecatingly. His ears were a bit red again with embarrassment that his professional, polite demeanor had lost to his more reactive, emotional side again… and he awkwardly huffs in an attempt to not continue to look like the prickly, socially inept idiot that he can be sometimes (and probably failing at the moment). “It’s fine, just speak up next time.”
The explanation instead gets a quiet contemplation, his expression unchanging from its awkward and a bit sharp tone while he does… He can at least understand what the man is telling him, but he still would rather Terra have spoken up. “I meant it when I offered to get something if you wanted anything else,” He responded, sighing as his shoulder’s settled just a touch. Continuing, he rubbed the side of his head awkwardly. “I could probably use something to eat anyway,” Not entirely a lie, something small won’t hurt. He doesn’t eat as much as he probably should sometimes, as it stands for various reasons. But the point is: Terra should eat if he was hungry, and this was Waver’s way of seeing to it in hopes of not failing the date spectacularly. The way the man was built indicated to Waver that he probably had a higher caloric need throughout the day than someone like himself.
“And if you want to pay part of the tab off at the end of the night, that’s fine…” Because it sounded important to Terra and it was a reasonable enough request he supposed… “But I’m already up so you might as well tell me what you’d like.” He ended, waiting for Terra to either agree or challenge him on it since Waver was used to being challenged. Some might point out that he seemed to gravitate towards challenging people despite his complaints.
The fact that Terra wasn’t excusing himself from this whole night was honestly a pretty big shock already, if the mage was being honest.
