"It's end of next month." He got out the file he had in his backpack, fingers shaking a little. This was a lot all at once and he wasn't sure how to deal with it. Was he supposed to get his hopes up? He didn't quite dare. He took a breath and then, quite suddenly, he got up and hugged Taliesin tightly. He hadn't thought he could ever have hope again, not with everything that was going on, so this was such a relief. "Thank you. I-- Thank you."

Kian watched, smiling a little. Kind of sweet.
