[ Realistically, he knows this is a bad idea. He isn't quite bolting away from the hangar, but his walk is determined enough. And while Poe can't necessarily be trusted to pick up on certain subtle things, there are other things he's bound to notice. Arthur doesn't think he knows about him being an omega, which should be somewhat obvious– or would be, if it weren't for their job making the scent nearly impossible to pick up on.
But of course, he's not dumb enough to pass off a fast stride away as something inconsequential. Fuck.
Once he hears steps behind him, he slows just a bit, unable to prevent the inevitable. It'd been a slim hope to get away but now that he can't, he may as well face it head on. Restraint was his forte, right? A little longer around Poe will be. Just fine. ]
Yeah?
[ He comes to a pause, just before the open hydraulic doors, looking mostly unruffled. Except for the flush across his face, the hair sweeping across his brow– all easily passed off from coming out of training and wearing a helmet.
If Poe gets too close though, it might be troublesome. They're about to be out of the overpowering smell of engine grease, of hot turbines and exhaust. Arthur feels like a livewire and he's almost certain it'll be picked out. ]
