Ana looked up at him once they arrived at the same crabapple cart from earlier in the day. He hesitated, and opened his mouth slowly as if still wondering how to go about correcting Segari without making the gentle giant even more embarrassed.
Unfortunately, Ana wasn't able to find the right words, as a very flustered woman chose that exact moment to call to him very loudly once she was within presumed earshot.
"Mister Anastolyr!"
Ana turned his attention to the woman, brows knit in confusion before recognizing her as one of the maids from the castle. The fact that she had run all the way out here, plus the look of exasperation on her face, was all Ana needed to know to know this was not going to be pleasant.
"Mister Anastolyr, you are..." the poor thing sucked in a large breath, before barreling on, apparently not able to take the time to recover from her trip. "You are needed at the castle. Your... the..."
She gestured, marking a space in the air above her head but still around Ana's own height, though that did little to get across what she was trying to say.
"The angry white one, like you, sir! He's making a mess of things and your yellow ones are still out of the city!"
Ana's eyes closed as if to shield himself from the horror. Or shield the poor maid from the fact that all Ana wanted to do at that exact moment was scream. Swallowing his own impulse to start raving and cussing Zhirai's name to the stars themselves, Ana instead opened his eyes and gave Segari an apologetic smile.
"I'm so sorry, I have to go handle this. I had a lovely time, and would very much enjoy seeing you again, Master Segari. Perhaps another river walk?" Ana asked, already beginning to retreat towards the maid who was trying her hardest to maintain her own decorum and not just start dragging the elf away.
"Day after tomorrow, perhaps?"
