Roland's answer was a wordless little grunt and a little nod, but despite his stony expression, there was a certain relaxing of tension, faint and almost imperceptible, in how he held himself. He wasn't about to make a big deal out of it. Neither of them needed that, least of all right now. But it was still a relief to be told, in so many words, that he was doing all right at something just at the moment. He would never have admitted, not under threat of torture, just how much that meant to him.
He made for the library without needing her guidance. It was noticeable that he was learning to shorten his paces, so he didn't stay quite so far ahead of her, but he still moved fast. And, once there, it still only took him a moment to register the obvious: Kaine and Bert were nowhere to be seen.
Turning, he looked down at her and arched one heavy eyebrow: half-question, half-concern.
