There's actually a lot of--

[[a pause. Hey, you know that thing called "tact" and "situationally appropriate conversation topics?" For once, Bakura has the thought that that sort of thing is really important.

...Cherish it, Anthony. It's a rare moment.]]

Yeah, I guess that's true enough. And it's not like anything so far's following the rules of mythology, so may as well come up with a new name for it.

[[He's waiting for Anthony to get in. Freshman gets to be squished. Just because.

...that and honestly, Anthony might do well being in the middle for a bit.]]

[In other words, it is too vague. "Zombie" is not inaccurate - it's just not quite diagnostic enough. It's vague. It's contentious...

But he will, indeed, appreciate the continuous pressure upon the fact being removed.

As he's still distracted it takes him a few moments for it to occur to him that he's being prompted to go on and get in. Once he does - true it's just as well.

He shuffles and slides in, pulling the coat on the rest of the way, and takes his place - looking through the door to confirm whether Bakura is coming.]

[Once everyone's in, it won't be a long drive to the clinic -- only about ten minutes. Aaron seems in no hurry to make conversation.

Going to leave the awkward silence, or break it?]

[[Bakura is... oddly quiet. He has a death grip on the door handle and is doing his best to keep his car-induced panic in check by reminding himself over and over that it's a truck and thus, totally different. Somehow. And besides. If he had a panic attack right then, Anthony would fall to pieces.

...possibly literally.]]

[Bakura's nonetheless visible tension does nothing to thin what is there to leave what Anthony would judge as even snug room for comment.

Therefore, it would appear the awkward silence stays, and not without getting even more disconcertingly awkward.]
