Shit.
He hadn't meant for his displeasure to be infectious. He'd wanted to leave her here to enjoy herself while he dealt with… things. And then he would come back when he was done and she would be here and happy and cheer him up.
Which, when he thought it out, wasn't very fair to her. She was a person, not a goldfish. She didn't exist to sit around looking pretty when he wanted something pretty to look at. He'd brought her to an unfamiliar place and now he was suggesting leaving her here along without knowing what to do or having anything available to her.
He was a dick.
"No, I won't – do you want me to call you a car to take you home? Or. Maybe not back to my apartment. But. Somewhere you'd be more comfortable? I don't. Want to abandon you. Not that I'm. I know that's melodramatic." He rubbed at the back of his neck, and still did not stand up. "I just. Didn't want this to ruin your day. Both of our days. But it seems like that might be happening. And I can't keep you with me because that's. Weird. And. Problems. Even if I wish you could. Be. With me."
Another high-priority notification pinged him, apparently irritated that he had not predicted the emergency and started heading to it pre-emptively. It was not something that would wait much longer. "I'm sorry," he said, and on impulse he took her face in two hands and kissed her, fast and fierce. "Call a car if you want and charge it to my account, do – do whatever makes you happy." He stood, trying to brush sand off of himself. There would be no time to change into something more professional or authoritative.
This was all less than ideal.
"This hopefully won't take very long," he said, walking backwards as he stepped away from her, "but if you don't want to wait that's. Okay. I won't mind." This was a lie, because he would be very depressed. It didn't seem fair to make her feel responsible for that, however.
As tempting as it was to tell Grilka to fuck off so he could snuggle, that would cause more problems than it solved in the long run.
