He was very much in doubt he would need the white, not often using it, but he'd play along. "Sure, sure, whatever you say Anders." He laughed along as Jude explained his plan of anti-summoning charms to keep it nice and safe, shaking his head in amusement at the boy's dedication to the joke. Well... at least what he assumed was just dedication and not an actual action plan. Uh, perhaps Evan shouldn't have mentioned that. Though truthfully it HAD been kind of amusing the more he looked back on it, not to mention he'd spent some time researching if there even was a transfiguration spell that did that. Because entirely curious. "Don't worry about it. As you see, I am still human and not prickly." He paused for a moment at that, deciding to go ahead and add, "Well, not physically." Personality wise he made no promises. The apology really was the most surprising part, wasn't it? "I just ran into her the other day and she apologized." Which also led him too... "Have you talked to her in awhile?" He went back to coloring, trying to seem casual about the question and not out just how concerned Reagan was about him.

His words seemed to confirm in Evan's mind what he thought he already knew. The pair WERE a couple, and while there might have been a sliver of disappointment that he could lose his friend to a boyfriend, or become a third wheel in interactions, the most important thing was he wanted Jude to be happy. So if being with Davet did that, he would encourage him. And perhaps there was a piece of him relieved, not because he felt the need to push Jude off to someone else, but because he didn't want him hurting over Evan's inability to return feelings. Not for any longer than he needed. He thought about asking if Davet knew what had happened over summer and confirm they were still okay, but he stopped himself before he could. Their relationship wasn't really his business, and he wouldn't pry beyond what Jude shared lest he ask the wrong things.

There wasn't much he could say in response to Stasya's occupation, because Jude's tone had made him realize how much his commentary had cut - even though he certainly hadn't meant to. He opened his mouth to reply but... not really knowing what to say let it close again. He watched for a minute as Jude finished his letter and folded it all up, before deciding perhaps he should be moving himself along too in order to not cause even further damage with his words. He slowly started to pack up his pencils, not asking for the white one, and shut the page on his sketch as the cat turned it's head curiously towards owner. She was smart, he was sure she could figure he was prepping. "I'll ask my parents. I might stay for another day or so but.. I think I need to spend some time with Noah over break, if he's around. He's just got a lot going on." That Evan wasn't at liberty to discuss. "It's nothing to worry about though." He stated as an afterthought, not wanting Jude to get concerned. Glancing down at his watch and looking back, he gave a small smile. "I actually need to go try calling him. Do you mind if we meet up another time?" If Jude wanted to. If he didn't, well... Evan would understand if it was too hard for a bit. He needed to figure out how to not say insensitive things anyways, figure out their new normal.
