[It's even worse than what he imagined it might be like. It makes him want to say "actually I lied I take it back", but that would be even more disingenuous than just going through with it and biting the bullet. If nothing else, he at least has the respect to keep Ain's gaze, and not try to look away from him.]
I know. I know, but...I got business here. I told you I was just headed in the same direction, remember?
[Yeah, he's got "business" alright...
He swallows thickly, regarding Ain with- at the very least- an expression that looks genuinely apologetic. Because it is.]
Don't get me wrong. I...really ended up enjoyin' my time with you. I enjoyed travelin' on the road with you. I enjoyed...everythin'. You pretty much turned my life around, yaknow?
[After a pause, Wolfwood attempts to reach up to brush a lock of Ain's long bangs out of his eyes, tucking it behind his ear. But if Ain ducks away from his touch, he'll understand and draw back. He doesn't particularly care if people see, for once.]

I'm real thankful I met you.
