"Okay that’s a start,” Kieran told him "And what if… let’s say Quillian is busy? It shouldn’t be weird to spend time without him, I mean, he’s not here right now, is he? And you’re doing pretty well. I’m just saying, try doing stuff with other people sometimes, you are your own person.”
“Quillian wouldn’t be happy with that,” Danko mumbled to himself, as he leaned forward on his desk, resting on his forearms. He was surprised the teacher didn’t seem to care about or notice their constant quiet murmurs. Then in a meek mutter that Kieran would definitely be able to hear, “I don’t know. I know that it’ll be different now that we’re here but…” He hated that part, as part of him didn’t want things to be different. “…if Quillian is busy then I could just do homework or something. I’ll probably just have dinner and go to bed early.”
"How about, one time after classes, you ditch Quillian and hang out with me?”
“You want to hang out with me?”, Danko asked disbelievingly. “I… I could do that, if, uh, if Quillian is busy.”
