[ Janus, for as observant as they are, will likely pinpoint the exact fraction of a second that Rose doesn't like what she hears. Her smile wanes, posture gets just a minuscule amount tighter. 'I'm leaving' hits a lot harder than even she had anticipated. Most people don't get the chance to say good-bye, they just leave. Maybe she got used to that. While she always thought she'd have preferred to have the closure, now that there's an opportunity where she might she isn't convinced. This doesn't feel much better.
But 'I have a boyfriend' is where she softens again a little, less edge and more understanding. If Vanyel were to say he had to go home tomorrow, she... Would she follow him? There was a time that she had imagined that was the only place left for her in the multiverse but now things are different. She doesn't want to think about that, however, so- ]
Oh, [ she finally settles for. It's a lot more loaded than a single syllable, two letter word has any right to be. ] Who, uhm. Who was your boyfriend?
[ Because of her own relationship(s), it doesn't alarm her that they'd been taken. Though it sounds as if they weren't entirely sure they were themself even in going back to with them. She hopes that works out, she does- But she's also maybe a little selfish and wishes that it didn't mean having to part ways. ]
