[Zelos's shoulder gives a small twinge, making him flinch. He's in the hallway outside the library, and Yuan's there, and the wall Zelos fell back against when he was attacked is just visible around the corner -- it's enough to make the memory briefly raise its ugly head.

But Zelos isn't alone this time. The guard falls into step beside him, and eyes Yuan over his shoulder.] Master Zelos --

Don't worry, I asked him to come.

[The guard hesitates, surprised.] Where?

Back to the courtyard with us. He wants to see Nethan. He promised not to try anything suspicious until we get there, so we'll be fine.

[The guard takes the hint and falls silent. It's an awkward few minutes' walk out the back of the castle to the training courtyard, but the guard breaks off once they reach it and Zelos lets Yuan catch up so he can smile at him.]

Ready?
