With that warning, Kael moved into the lecture hall, finding his usual seat near the front. Kieran followed more slowly, aware of the eyes tracking his movement, the conversations that halted as he passed.
His seat had always been at the back corner of the room—a position that allowed him to observe everyone without drawing attention to himself. As he made his way there, he passed Ronan, who gave him a subtle nod of acknowledgment.
"Good to see you back," Ronan said quietly as Kieran passed. "We need to talk later."
Kieran nodded slightly in agreement. He'd been expecting that—Ronan had visited him once during his recovery, but they hadn't had the opportunity for a real conversation about the team selection or what it might mean.
