Yeah.... Rena wasn't herself. Like at all. Being so clumsy as to drop the map like that. She indeed have something in her mind. Noboyuki knew, supposed he knew, what was troubling her. 'I hope I am not right, though....' Noboyuki sighed, and tried his best to focus on what Rena was saying. There was no use over getting worked up on something like that, even if she seemed to be troubled by it, Noboyuki took it upon him to not say anything about it until she wanted to talk about it herself.
Noboyuki merely nodded at the explenetions Rena talked about, acknowledging them to their fullest, trying to overwrite the thoughts of him interfering on Rena's train of thought. He would have accomplished it had it been not for the fact that he saw Rena still troubled about the matter. There was nothing he could do about the growing awkwardness between the two of them if she wouldn't, at the very least, look at him. Maybe she did not really trust him enough as a friend to talk about those kinds of things? Maybe she just couldn't look at him anymore like a friend after the unnecessary gift he gave her the other day? Maybe she thought he was a creep now? Damn, there was him again and his habit of overthinking things. It was something that irritated him to no end.
After Rena decided to bail on him and run out, Noboyuki merely sighed and followed, though at a more relaxed pace. Walking to where Rena was now waiting, Noboyuki took his sweet time, trying to arrenge some kind of way in which he could chase away the awkward atmosphere between the two. After a while of deliberating over it, he thought he had finally found a satisfying answer. It would involve him lying, quite a bit in fact, but if that took away the awkwardness between the two of them, then that was completely all right. He approached the girl from behind and with his usual way of being incosiderate and just a plain ass, he lightly tapped Rena's back, if a bit forcefu. "Don't overthink it. It doesn't mean what you think it means, I've got completely no interest in you. It was just a present, nothing more. I prefer my girls more.... mature." He simply said, before getting on his way. "C'mon, we don't have time to waste now."
