[John throws his hands up in front of him, waving them a little as leans back ever so slightly with wide eyes. The Whimsicott on his shoulder squeaks a little, grabbing a tighter hold on him so she doesn't fall off. He's clearly touched some kind of nerve and he definitely didn't mean to and wow it's time to backpedal here. ABORT MISSION ABORT MISSION.]
Sorry, sorry! We don't have to talk about it. I just...um. Yeah. Subject change! [There's something else he wants to say on the matter, but he decides to bite his tongue. He's learned by now not to press things that people (especially girls) don't want to talk about. Rarely does that ever end well. And the last thing he wants to do right now is make a scene at a mutual friend's birthday that would be all kinds of rude. She'll talk about it on her own eventually...at least John hopes she will.]
