"I know," Colin sighed and nodded. "Just can't help being worried about it." And thinking about how much he'd rather stay here with Chris, he liked his freedom - liked knowing he could do what he wanted.
"Hey, I'm going to be alright up there, I'm not a kid, yeah?" He reminded Chris, not like some of the other students were kids. But he knew what Chris meant. "I'm going to be careful." No more running into things unprepared this time around, he wanted to be around a while, for Chris, for Cormac.
