[color=brown]“I believe. I will adjourn. For the remainder. Of this. Evening.”[/color]

Ruben rose from the table as Harmon, Adam, and Sawyer all turned to face him. [color=lightskyblue]“Leaving so soon?”[/color] Adam asked with a brow raised. Ruben said to him, [color=brown]“I. Have a project. I would like. To resume. Work on. Additionally. I wish to prepare. For my classes.”[/color] He turned and began to leave the table, with a rather insincere [color=brown]“Take. Care.”[/color] sounding as he made his way towards the crowd. Harmon quickly rose from his seat as well as followed him.

[color=brown]“No.”[/color] Ruben said, stopping and turning to look down at Harmon. [color=brown]“You. Should stay. And continue. To interact. With students.”[/color]

[color=gray]“A-… a-are you, are you… certain?”[/color] Harmon replied.

[color=brown]“Yes.”[/color] Ruben replied, [color=brown]“Sawyer. May even. Enjoy. Your company. Further.”[/color]

Harmon didn’t respond. He just lowered his head and nodded a bit. Ruben raised a tendril and patted his shoulder in reassurance. [color=brown]“You. Will be fine.”[/color] He said, turning once again to exit the cafeteria, leaving his assistant behind to mingle with the folks.

Outside, Ruben trudged along the stone walkways towards his destination; the Educational Rooms. He didn’t mind the walk any. But he had to remain wary of any new students who may have excused themselves from the cafeteria to hang about for any number of reasons. He passed through the Garden entrance, keeping the thought in mind, retaining a slow pace along the path.

At least his body [i]looked[/i] somewhat humanoid at the moment. That might help.
