"I don't know, man. Maybe you just weren't to her taste. There are other girls who'll accept you. No need to be down over just one girl," the rock human offered tentatively, its words cautious as it hoped to appease Leo and halt the onslaught, its cracked surface trembling with each labored breath.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not to her taste? You think I'm not good-looking enough too?" Leo demanded, a deep frown creasing his face as he took the rock human's attempt at comfort as an insult, his anger flaring anew at the perceived slight.
"No, that's not what I meant!" the rock human stammered, trying to backtrack, but Leo was beyond listening, his patience completely eroded by the day's rejections and the rock human's words.
