Vuduin frowned. Out of control. The whole thing was out of control. Perhaps it was a mistake. He set down his utensils next to the plate of food he'd been looking forward to. [b]"Please excuse me for a moment, she can have my seat if she wishes."[/b] Vuduin stood up, literally stepping out of his seat and walked, drifted really, towards the restroom. He was getting too involved again. He'd started caring. Hadn't he learned by now? Vuduin could've try defusing the situation, trying to calm things down, explain himself. No point. The fierce smell of the peppers attacked him even as he left, prompting small tears to fall down his face. How embarrassing. 

He took a deep breath to help clear his mind but the scent of the infernal peppers only assaulted him more, causing him to begin hacking as he stumbled towards the bathroom. Finally Vuduin made it inside and thankfully splashed some water on his face and stared into the mirror. Perhaps he should just leave. He'd had a little fun, got to try some new things. Wasn't that enough? Free from the oppressive peppers and the gaze of others he took deep breaths and closed his eyes, envisioning a calm, tranquil pond. Shade stayed at the table and stared at the food hungrily but glanced towards the bathroom with obvious concern. He seemed to be torn between eating the food and comforting Vuduin. So Shade just awkwardly floated there, eyes flickering from avatar to peppers to food to bathroom.
