Sean's leg jiggled up and down, causing Mark to glance down, and then stare at Sean, eyebrows raised. Sean didn't notice Marks look, as he was seemingly glaring at the tiled floor.

Contrary to how it seemed, however, Sean was paying no attention to the ground, his vision blurry with unshed tears, and his mind filled with worries for Felix.
