[ his focus . . . getting his focus . . . there’s something that falco does consider, but he withholds the thought to himself. it wasn’t a sure way and he wasn’t supposed to tell anyone to start. what if he could quell him for just a minute? what if -60 attacked him instead, was it better than attacking connor? and what about the other way around—?
it’s something that he ends up pressing away, for now, ducking his head and telling himself to think things through one step at a time. the first: ]
After we find him, I’ll go back home. I’ll try and talk to Mister Connor— if I get a head start, I think I’ll be fast enough. I just in case.
[Thinking on the future, Ethan decides, is better than thinking on the possibilities of what's to come. It helps to push past the ball of anxiety and self-loathing that's been slowly but surely building since he finally talked to -60.]
{That's the best idea, I think. I'd say to take care of yourself, but I doubt you need the reminder, and you'll do what you think is best regardless.}
[There's little inflection in the voice for obvious reason, but there's fondness on his face. Ethan's opinion is pretty clear, when it comes to Falco - he's young, but he's trustworthy.]
[ mm— at least he’s getting approval for it, out of all other options. he nods in understanding to take care of himself. ]
We all do.
[ do what we think is best, he means. that goes for just about everyone. falco gives ethan’s shoulder a touch— a response to the trust he’s being given, before it slips down to his side, and so dips his head.
now, in this evening chill, they’ll have to wait. ]
