"I-It is?!" Roman sounds surprised, his eyes grow wide and he realizes he's done it again. Aw, Mash is right, his inability to read the room has landed him in a spectacular foot-mouth. He hides his face behind his hands and lets the awkward silence linger for a moment before he can face him away.

"I'm sorry, um, I didn't know," he hates how empty that apology sounds. However, he inhales deeply and buries his embarrassment. "I won't let you go to that deep end, you know," he promises him.
