[His breath's a little heavy. He has been considering the entire matter his fault ever since he became aware of it...and that's worsened things. He silently curses himself, but quickly pushes that aside to keep his voice calm.]

I apologize.

I'll 'butt out', as they say. All right?

[cantwalkwithoutit]

This is exactly what I wanted to avoid.

...I'm sorry.

[He can't entirely hide the sigh.]

I'm sorry too. I'll gladly give space, unless you'd prefer a distraction?

[cantwalkwithoutit]

I need a little time [ to think ] to go through the answers.

But, tonight? If you're not otherwise engaged?

[4thdimensional]

I'll have finished grading paperwork by then.

[He finally smiles, and it's audible in his voice]

Until then, my dear.
