Sorry to drag you down, Blue. He's at least gotten the implication – which, by now, is far more than just that – that he needs to pick up the pace, that he needs to get the lead out if he wants to keep his insides as insides instead of outsides, but flat-out running has never quite been a strong suit.
( Sports, in general, have never quite been his strong suit, if he's entirely honest. Which just makes having crossed his name off of that sign-up sheet one of the wisest decisions he's ever made, even if it had only been attempt numero uno at getting one ( 1 ) Dick Gansey's attention. )
"You look like something straight out of a Tolkien novel –" Ah, always teetering on the edge of the serious and not-so-much, that careful balance in which one can never tell if he's joking or serious or a mixture of both, even if he's at least making strides in not making this more difficult for Blue than it needs to be. He blinks when that comes, though, both brows rising infinitesimally. "I was with you and your husband-to-be. Which makes this even more weird as hell, because you look like –" He rolls his shoulders in a shrug. "Like you've been here long enough to know what's happening. How's that even possible?"
