But then, he HAD chosen the right thing to say... because it led in perfectly with what he wanted to know.
"You think?" First response that came to mind. "It's just... I want to do better, y'know?" DID he know?
Sabel gave the kid a long side eye. Of course he thought so. Wouldn't have said it if he didn't think it, but then, Zeke didn't know him. Not as well as Emily or Simon or all the rest. Didn't know he rarely said what wasn't on his mind, and rarely kept quiet about what was. Or at least, that had been the way of things.
"Well, I would hope you want to do better." Turning his gaze to the forest, Sabel scanned what little he could see of it's dark depths.
"Don't see why you would have joined the club otherwise. The whole point of it is to help you get better. Help practice and teach."
But he didn't think that was what Zeke was going for. Not quite. His gaze slipped back to the kid.
