[ thomas hadn’t heard her, before rounding the corner, and is given all of a couple seconds of warring over fight or flight before she’s whipping around, making demands. what sticks with him, though, is the last thing she says - i’ll know if you’re lying. there’s no apprehension coming from the teenager (in dirty clothes, covered in soot and drying blood), only narrowing eyes. ]
