"I can definitely believe it," Thomas said, reaching over and giving Bitty's shoulder a playful shove. "Absolutely! Bitty, that's so cool. You're a lot braver than me."

Thomas was still trying to figure out the whole caring for other people thing and how to navigate those rough waters. There were definitely people in Darrow that he cared about, some more than others, some in different ways than others and it was hard to figure out what to do and what was allowed when it came to certain things and certain emotions. With the fear of the Flare behind him, that was his next project: learning how to be a functional and whole human being.

"Mind if I ask who it is?" Thomas wondered, lowering his voice just in case Bitty didn't want to share it with everyone here.
