[ The truth of the matter is, he doesn’t know. There’s no way he can know. All he can do is believe, believe and keep moving. He says he will get far enough away so that Connor can be safe, because failure is not an option he can accept. New as their friendship is, he refuses to add yet another name to the list of people he’s lost.
He checks in on Connor as they go, asking if he’s still with him, and holding his breath until he hears soft confirmation. The hike back to the train station feels like a lifetime, and every distant lightning strike sends a cold bolt of fear and worry down his spine, prompting the cycle to start all over again.
A quiet thank you to the gods escapes his lips when the station that has served as the Circle’s home base comes into view, and as weary as he is from having carried Connor who knows how far, the sight is enough to make him redouble his efforts. Sorry to any other Circle members who may be inside, as he lays into the door with his foot to force his way inside, crossing the dusty room to gingerly deposit his friend atop an old table, his back to the wall. ]

Oi, look at me. Are you all right?
