[He doesn't say anything when Ravus pulls his hand away, though a flash of something crosses his face and leaves just as quickly as it came. Maybe Ravus isn't much of a hand-holder. It's fine. Besides, their arms brush together as they walk so they're still touching. Sort of.]

Planned to. Dad's with the King on some diplomatic thing and Iris went to visit her girlfriends, so I figured I'd stick around here. [Gladio doesn't bother saying that he'd been hoping to spend the break, or at least part of it, with Ravus and that he decided to stay at his apartment long before Iris and Dad made their plans. It seems like too much to say this early, so he keeps it to himself.

The sun on his face and the fresh air feel wonderful as he easily keeps pace with Ravus. Gladio guides them down an empty path, the trail not quite as worn as the others they've passed, and as they walk the trail becomes significantly more unkempt. But it's still walkable. Plus Gladio shows no signs of stopping.]

And you? Where are you spending your break?
