The Sunspire and his apologies come early

Screech was no longer in a mood appropriate for spending time with others; he thought of various ways to ass kiss his way out of his predicament but the only option, really, was to seek out Terry and.. Deal with that mess as quickly as he could.

Plus this was Rannoch talking. The boy had spent days hunting him down and wouldn't let himself fall victim to the disappointment he had begun to sense. Maybe Redshank had been right about him - but time would tell.

He doesn't think for long and nods, the corner of his eyes creasing as he smiles, "Okay."
