[She'd only missed him taking a walk, really, and not even a long one at that, and as he straightened he hugged the bag to his chest, watching her with his head dipped slightly so his hair shaded his eyes. It was a restless sort of motion that had him straightening everything in the bag in his arms.]

Not long. Just a handful of hours ago, actually. I took a walk around and came back here, that's all.

[He peeked at her, a bit nervous, but decided that there was no point putting it off. Besides... he had more than one thing to say that he'd put off for years too long already.

And he didn't even mean the oncoming apology with that thought either, not really.]

I'm sorry I left you alone Konan. I'm really happy to see you.
