Tim, who had been hit by a total curve ball with Sophia's emotions, was trying his hardest to keep up with what exactly had just happened. That, combined with the cold, was a very discombobulating thing for him to experience. He rushed to her side, listening hard, zipping up his jacket as she quietly mumbled about other things that the two of them could do, suddenly distant and flustered. He pushed his hands into his pocket, trying to keep pace, eyes scanning the horizon as they walked. Had he said something weird in the store? Was it wrong? He really just wanted to hang out, he didnt necessarily have any problems going where she wanted to go.

"Uh, we could... I dunno. Did I say something? I-In the store?" Tim said, timidly, moving in front of her now, walking backwards, keeping pace with her pretty evenly. "I just dont really eat too much sugary candies. Normal gummies are more my speed. I went because you wanted to go, thats all."

He watched her face, looking for a reaction, something to read. He also silently applauded himself for, for the first time in quite some time, actually being able to confront a situation rather than let it fester for too long, unspoken. He spent a moment with that, then brought himself back to the situation at hand.

"I just like hangin' out, thats all."
