Quinn nodded. "I heard. That how...Deirdre linked it in her journal. I saw the picture and I...couldn't quite believe it." Quinn finally smiled then. "Mal...I was so worried." He kept edging ever closer, though he did so carefully.
Flynn swallowed and he bit his lip. "About...me?"
Quinn gave Flynn a look that said he was really quite silly if that wasn't obvious. "Of course about you! I never should have let you send me away. Even though...I'm very aware now that you saved my life that day. Even if I was petrified that I, in turn, had consigned you to death."
And there was his Ardal, saying things like 'consigned you to death'. Which brought a huge smile to Flynn's face without him even realising it. "I did okay." He said with a shrug.
"Okay actually okay, or okay you're lying to make me feel better okay?"
"Sort of...both." Flynn ran his hands through his hair and all at once Quinn was right in front of him. And then he was in Quinn's embrace. Flynn stiffened and then he relaxed a little, allowing himself to hug Quinn back. It felt good. He felt good.
When Quinn released Flynn, he turned to Spectre. "So you knew who I was?"
