On one hand, Garrot counts this as a win, because Gyre didn't respond. On the other, it's a long wait, and he's more than a little nervous about having to do an apology song and dance tour. He's not trying to be a jerk, he just... doesn't... get it? Or, that is to say, he gets what Gyre's kind of getting at, but his brain just can't shift far enough into his pal's perspective here. At least this time, he's earnestly trying.

So he breathes a long and deep sigh of relief when Gyre responds. Garrot dodged taxidermy, Gyre dodged the relationship between societies and nature. Considering they're kind of figuring out each other's boundaries as they go, this isn't as bad as it could be! So Garrot is proud of them both.

《Gotta find the right ones, buddy! Maybe we can go shopping sometime?》

Honestly, the thoughts of taking Gyre into a market to buy a bunch of meat or taking him to a populated place to window shop the attractive people is... great. Entertainment with bonding and all that good stuff. That said, he isn't going to completely forget that abrupt pause, or how being honest helped him out with Gyre the night before.

《And I'm sorry if I pissed you off with what I said. I wasn't trying to be mean.》

It's almost like Garrot can more easily slip out of his boisterous bravado when he's not in-person.
