This time, Pyrrha can't hide the disappointed look. That... wasn't a yes. It wasn't a no either, but he only mentioned how she felt, not how he felt. He was letting her down gently. She wasn't surprised; he only ever had eyes for Weiss. But it still hurt, because just for that moment she thought she was going to have her happily ever after.
She blinks a few times in an effort to not cry. "I understand. I appreciate your honesty." She slowly extracts her hand from his, instantly missing the feel of him. She's sure he only has good intentions but keeping the contact would only make things worse. After wiping away a stray tear, she holds her arm with the opposing hand, a little more closed off than before. She's trying to pass off as fine, though the sorrow still practically radiates off of her.
After a brief pause to collect herself just a little bit, she gives a slight nod at his words, refusing to meet his eyes. "Lead the way."
Wow what a literal rude awakening
