He sighed a little, though no sound came from it. "It's a bit more complicated than that..." He plucked idly at his lute for a moment, a few pleasant hums of music that didn't lead to a song. "I'm not sure what Vex told you, exactly, but they didn't exactly leave me to wake up with my dignity... which, sure. Normally I don't care about that kind of thing, but with Kaylie there, it was different.... It's hard to explain, but out of all the people in this world, Kaylie was the one person I wanted to keep a promise to and I didn't and I didn't handle it well and I said some things. A lot of things. But I needed to get away and it seemed easier than to just... leave." Them hating him was easier somehow than them missing him, or so he had thought anyways.
