Another Exploration down. The stress of waiting around is at once agonizing and monotonously familiar—they've been through enough of these that Flint trusts it won't be that bad; no matter who's been stabbed or afflicted with an ailment, they've always come through in one piece. He studies with Suzy, and reads half of a chapter twenty times. When they get news that the squads have returned to school, Flint stays put, not wanting to crowd anyone or demand attention. He sends Scout a simple text telling him that Flint is in the Swords boys' common room, and not to rush.
He's pacing the floor when Scout finally appears. "Hey." Flint immediately closes the distance, reaching out to touch him, just to reassure his overactive brain that Scout is okay. He finds Scout's elbow and runs his hand down Scout's arm, until his pinky finger catches onto the bracelet tied around his wrist. "This is starting to fall apart," Flint murmurs.
