He didn't want to tell me, but I needed to know. [And he's not angry about it. He's not happy about it, but he understands it. Which is... mostly why he needed the alone time.] I informed him that I would be going scouting [by leaving a note, Rhade, good call] but didn't specify the amount of time I would be gone.

[But, he does feel bad for making her worry.] I apologize for not informing you. I doubt I would have been very good company.
