Kurt stays turned away, tightening his fingers around his hair and pulling. He doesn't understand why he has to be so awkward around people. Things had been easy when it came to performing in the circus - why couldn't it still be like that? Maybe because 'real life' situations weren't planned out and rehearsed.
While he's struggling through this inner turmoil, his attention is recaptured by Carl mentioning that he should go.] No, I--!
[And just like that, Carl is ducking beneath his hat, trying to hide his eyes. He almost bites the inside of his cheek hard enough to draw blood, but is quick to relinquish his hold on the skin so he doesn't let the sentence linger.]
Please, you don't have to go. I didn't mind you watching. [A brief pause.] Maybe you can help me?
[There's still a chance for him to turn around his pathetic attempt at a first meeting.]
