I've been.. ( He thought for a few minutes. ) .. good. Really good, actually. It's less eventful as it was in the city, I think. Less dangerous. It's just a lot more lonely.

( Thomas still clung to the back of Augustus' shirt, but was otherwise still. ) Uhm.. What do you like talking about, Augustus? I like talking about a lot of things, so I'm good with.. anything.

Sor-.. Oh. ( He nearly flinched, but he willed himself to remain calm. He was careful not to do anything that could make the other uncomfortable. ) I'd.. Let's just stay like this, please? Maybe talk.. Talking is nice, right?

Ooh.. Sorry for apologizing so much- ( His hands lifted, grasping at the back of the other's shirt. ) I'd really, really like it if we just spent time. Yeah.

That would be.. nice. I'd like that, Augustus. I really would.. Sorry for insisting.


I.. I'd like it if you'd stay, please. At least for today..

No, no! It's, uhm, for my peace of mind. My teacher always said to repay others.

Do you think you could .. stay? I can make some space for you. It's, uh.. Accommodations in thanks of helping me. It only makes sense.

( He froze up, but quickly willed himself to relax. He didn't want to do anything that could shatter this moment. ) Well,.. my teacher always said that it's right to thank people if they help you. You stayed— uh. You patched me up and all..

Thank, Augustus .. ( He's still squeezing the plush. That poor horse ) The, uh, patching me up and letting me hold this thing. It's all really nice of you ..

( He simply held the plush in surprise. He'd look at the plushie, then back at Augustus. ) Aww... Augustus! It's so adorable.. ( The cuteness factor did not stop him from squeezing it. tightly. )

.. I guess even horses don't like being left alone. ( He bit his lower lip, trying not to make the pain more obvious. He didn't seem to notice how familiar this scene felt. ) It— Why does it sting THAT bad ..
