Roman stood at the door, his friends just standing there.. staring at him? Were they expecting something? Should he just.. run? Or no.. Talk? Maybe.. "Eugh. Are you guys not going to talk?" Virgil cut the silence. "The machine at the coin factory just suddenly stopped working, with no explanation." Patton said awkwardly. "It doesn't make any cents." Roman folded his arms, "do you guys even get why I left?" He tapped his foot, somewhat aggravated. "I- We were hoping you'd tell us.." Virgil mentioned quietly. Roman laughed at this. "Just come out and tell you what you did wrong?" Logan adjusted his glasses, "us?" He took a breath "Yes you guys, you all pressured me too much. You, Virgil didn't give me much support and you've already pointed out that I get insecure. Logan, you always have your face stuffed in a book. Patton, you're often off play patty-cakes with Logan or some stranger telling puns." The three across from him looked extremely guilty. Accept for Logan, of course. "I'm so-" Patton started. "No! It'd be better if I decided to go right now." He interrupted. "You're acting ridiculous, Roman." Virgil groaned. "And you're soooo much better, huh. What a supportive friend he is! Whoo, let's give a round of applause to Josh dumb (thank you to another friend of mine for coming up with that, you know who you are) over here!" Roman threw his arms up sarcastically. "Well come on, should I just run away from you guys and that will definitely solve all of my problems!" Virgil had raised his voice. The brunette started again, "Excuse me for getting away from the bad situation that was you!" He hissed towards his friend, "I don't run away from my problems, I deal with them. Unlike you." Roman made fists behind his back to keep form retaliating in a physical way, "Well it's not my fault you're so extremely rude that you always have to go out exposing secrets in order to make others feel bad. You know, because that's how you deal with problems." Virgil's scowl softened, "And what did I expose?"
