Under normal circumstances this would turn into another round of their usual banter, but instead there's a slight wince before Add goes quiet again, unsure of how to proceed. Now he's sure Jakob is still mad at him. Maybe he should've stuck to his original plan...
"... I never asked you to make me anything," he mutters after a long stretch of silence, eyes focused on his feet. "You... don't have to do anything you don't want to do."
So if he'd rather serve a different god... he only has to ask. Even if the idea of Jakob leaving him makes his chest ache in a strange and uncertain way, Add won't stop him. It would be easier on both of them.
He opens his mouth again, I'm sorry at the edge of his tongue, andβ "We should focus on the mission. We're almost there." ... he totally chickens out at the last second. This is hell on his nerves. He needs more time to prepare himself before he does something truly embarrassing.
Add tries to walk a little faster, eager to arrive at their destination.
