She SIGHED and looked to the door. This was NOT at all ...how she thought this would go. Or wanted it to.
Jake actually held back from saying 'you are'. This was going badly, and his already fragile mood was being KILLED. He knew she was being sarcastic with the apology, and the young man frowned at this. Sarcasm was something that he just... didn't get and didn't like.
But oh well.
Finny? Who was Fi-... ohhhhh.
Finny.
Well... that hurt.
Jake sat for a moment, LOOKING hurt, feeling the cat nudge his hand as he picked up the book. Once he had hold of it, the young man handed it back to Neptune silently.
Well... silently at first. He caught that look towards the door. He'd ventured out of the library to have a happy few minutes, or even talk about something that had been bothering him, but it had turned into Neptune sulking because there was ONE THING that Jake didn't agree with.
"You are acting as though I never agree with you on anything, Neptune," he said quietly, standing up, still looking hurt. He was so SO SO sure she'd mentioned Finn on purpose. Did she know about the history? He couldn't remember. Lolcat jumped to Jake's heel as his eyes started to really tear up, something he'd avoided. "Maybe I should go back to the library if you don't want to talk right now. It's probably best. This is something we won't agree on."
He glanced at the table. Eh... food. He should eat, but the idea of doing so made him feel sick. Or maybe that was something else.
