Hearing Anthony's words, Bryan paused, realization striking him; Anthony had just helped him with his greatest issue, one that was supposed to hold him back for a thousand years or more, and now, he was asking for more help after just receiving help, which made him feel both embarrassed and slightly ashamed of himself for even making such a request so soon after receiving something so invaluable.
"I'm sorry, I seem to have overstepped due to my excitement at being free and thoughts of joining the military," Bryan immediately apologised. He bowed slightly from his seated position, as he was seated on a couch, his posture lowering just enough to show sincerity without appearing overly submissive, his tone carrying genuine regret for his earlier words.
