There was a brief second's unreadable glance from the Sith Lord again before Arche gave another shrug. Perhaps unsurprisingly, talking about feelings didn't seem like the most comfortable subject for him.

"...I try not to pry too much without need. Awkward, for one thing. But sometimes these things come to me instead," he noted with a wry quirk of one brow.

"Anyhow--..." There was another moment of hesitation as he folded his arms behind his back.

"I asked, didn't I? And you answered. Surely honesty does not need apologies. And we both... have something to think about now."

With that, giving a brief nod in the way of a goodbye, he turned to go leave El to the rest of his day at last.
