(what's money to a kid that has never wanted for anything in his life? not everyone lives like that, henry. you're just like all the other raven boys that blue has always told herself to stay away from.
but there's something to be said about offering favors instead of something else. it's a good trade. a good business to be in. someone will always owe someone else a favor. it's just how the world works.
... but apparently not how things are going to work right now. because the thing that has been stalking them for a hell of a lot longer than either of them realize is finally making itself known, seen, out in the damned open, and henry doesn't have much time to do anything else other than to take a cautionary step backward, to urge his new friend behind him like it might actually do some good when he's very clearly unarmed.
uh. ) ... Shit. ( THANK YOU, HENRY CHENG, GRAND ORATOR. ) I think. It might be time to run.
