The two of them left the store and Crispin put the backpack on his back. As they were walking, Crispin was thinking about how to carry Jae without everything being more awkward than it already was. He could carry him bridal style, but that was worse than a piggy back ride. He could not pick him up anyway, until they were out of the town. During the walk out of the center of the town, Crispin eyed him just a little. HIs crush on him did not diminish one bit. In fact it was probably worse now that they weren't talking and he seemed buddy buddy with Ukraine. And then Taemin was just way too close for comfort. The leader did not care much that they were close friends before the abduction, it did not help the jealousy. The Englishman did not want the two of them to be awkward anymore. It was practically killing him inside to not be teased or messed with by him. Though it was annoying, it was better than the silence and the awkwardness. And he knew what he had to do, but he was having a hard time trying to figure out how to do it. A sigh escaped him and he gently took hold of Jae's arm to stop him from walking. Once he caught his attention, Crispin shoved his hands into his own pockets. "I-uh.." England usually does not have problems with words, but it was apologies he was not good with. "I didn't mean to upset you in the hotel room.." He started. "I uh don't like the way it is between us and I want us to go back to normal.." He attempted to finish. He did not say 'I'm sorry' but that is what he is trying to say.
"I won't say anything" Elani smiled at his promise and giggled a little at his right hand gesture. Taemin was ridiculously sweet and adorable. It made sense why him and Jae were close friends. There personalities work rather well together. Well besides the stubbornness. Their arguments could probably be quite entertaining to watch. Africa ran her fingers through her hair, and looked down at her lap, before looking back up at Taemin. "Thank you. For everything. I know everyone is thanking you, but its been so long since we have seen someone that was so willing to help." She said. Being locked up by scientist who only have selfish interest makes finding someone that knows about their abilities and help a rare human being. They probably could not find another person like that, if they had tried.
