A Date (Connor/Vane)

[Connor Holt]

Connor wavered a moment, actually debating leaving instead to let himself think away from Vane. Eventually, he nodded and stood up from the wall to stand by Vane. "Okay, let's go," he said, reaching up to run his hand through the hair over his face before smoothing it down again. Flying would give him at least a brief escape from the thoughts running through his head.

Vane walked with Connor as far as the split in their paths. He extracted an implied promise that Connor wouldn't ditch him, then headed up toward Ravenclaw tower to get his broom. He wasn't at all sure his advice would do any good, but he'd tried, and Connor couldn't blame him if something went wrong. It was all he could do.
