As I knew I wouldn't get anything out from Josiah, I stopped harassing him.

Hendrix didn't say anything even when we got in the car. He seemed mad at me, but at the same time, he didn't look mad.

I couldn't figure him out, so I asked instead, "Have you eaten anything?" It was just in time for dinner.

He didn't reply to me. Following that was a long silence.
