[After a moment Eagle followed after Malik. It wasn't an easy thing to do really but he did feel he had to at least say something to Malik before he left.
Luckily he did arrive without hearing any part of their conversation. ]

Malik?

[He smiled apologetically. ]

I'm sorry if I embarrassed you. I thought you must have understood already.

[But Malik was here with another guy so maybe he already had some one? Or they were friends? Brothers? It was hard to tell with just a glance, but Eagle did try to include the other man in the conversation by smiling at him as well. ]

It must have been a surprise.

[For both of you? Maybe?]
