Need a thread with Don, but don't have a post for it and don't feel like starting one? Stick it here. Please note date, time of day, location, and any relevant circumstances.

[Another anxious minute of silence passes before Robert finally breaks it.]

... Sh-shall I leave you be?

[i_speak_softly]

[With an almost-frosty edge to his voice:]

Do you have anything to say?

[semper_cogitans]

[Some part of him, still surprisingly bitter, wonders if Don would even listen. But what actually leaves Robert's mouth is different.]

I... apologize for what has o-occurred today, and the time prior. I will take steps to ensure it... does not occur a s-second time.

[But he's not backing down on his opinion.]

[Don keeps his eyes on his work. He's very aware of what Robert did and didn't say.]

Thank you.

[Robert ducks his head in a sort of acknowledgement, and steps back to give the Turtle more room.]

... I will... t-take my leave now...

[He starts to walk out of the room, then, though with an obvious reluctance. He really hates how much is hovering in the air between them - it just makes everything feel wrong.]

[i_speak_softly]

[Don makes no move to stop him, though he does say one maybe-promising thing.]

I'll see you in the morning.

[semper_cogitans]

[Robert hesitates just a moment, to nod decisively at that.]

... Yes... as will I.

[He leaves, then, to retire to his own room for the first night in a long time spent without alcohol. Hopefully it won't have as much crying as the nights before.]
