Humpty Dumpty had gotten so caught up in the moment that he had equally forgotten himself, and when Eric seems to remember that they're still surrounded by people he seems to be similarly jarred. Maintaining his composure and keeping up a carefully curated facade has been essential for so long that he feels almost embarrassed at having forgotten himself, falling silent as his eyes lower to the floor.

When the bus comes to its next stop- he doesn't even pay attention to which it is- he moves and begins to disembark.

The only acknowledgement he gives Eric is a meaningful glance over his shoulder as he steps off, but whether the other man chooses to follow or keep his distance is up to him.
