Not to mention he had gotten himself caught up in a mood since his return to the Castle, a mood that saw him talking even less and a feeling of stress had come over him. So it was after all those classes that Ary finally have the time to make his way there, with Drake by his side. Even if he didn’t at all feel enthusiastic about the visit anymore.
There were a ton of things that he wanted to say to Drake right now: that the Topiaries could move {his source? Professor Khanna themself}, that the greenery and creatures were a combination of their likes, and other stuff he had been grappling with for an entire year. Aryan passed into the Garden silently instead. It had been quite obvious to Drake was something was off in his best mate when they'd made it back to school. Initially, he had the nagging self conscious thoughts he was prone to that maybe HE had done something to upset him, and while there were still moments where he considered that possibility... Ary hadn't pulled away completely, considering this putting in itself, and so Drake pushed those thoughts away. Still... There had to be something that was going on. And as much as Drake wanted to ask and offer his assistance, he also didn't want to invade Ary's privacy. He figured if it was something Aryan wanted to discuss, he would have done so.
But also..... Drake WAS only 13 and his patience could only last so long until worry won the overall battle.
Walking along with Ary through the Topiary Garden, not taking as much joy in it as one would have assumed from the plant obsessed teen, he watched his friend out of the corner of his eye. They'd hardly gotten all the way in before patience was declared the loser and Drake spoke. "... Are you alright?"
