While it would've been just as easy (if not easier) to walk around Rye, Lenz makes a point of stepping over him as he comes across him on the path instead. He then turns and stops to look down at the younger man. He's a bit tipsy, having dipped into Crysta's cooler, but not enough that he can't plainly tell that Rye is...despondent?

Something like that.

And it's not particularly difficult to guess why.

With a faint sigh, he conjures a small portal beneath Rye's head so he's not just thudding his skull against the ground. "Probably took enough hits today, huh?" he asks dryly, pushing his hands into his pockets and continuing to just stand over Rye.
