When Fin was done, he slowly started to leave, trying not to look Laurel in the eye again.

Laurel turned, "See you around, Fin," she smiled. Frei grabbed Fin's hand again as she led him out.

"... See you," Fin replied as he let Frei lead him out.

So Frei walked him back to the Juttle, "He's... researching you," Frei stated.

--

Laurel sat down on the bed and waited for Nic.

"... Who?" Fin asked.

--

About ten minutes later, Nic returned like he had promised.

"Cat," Frei replied.

--

Laurel glanced up at him, wondering what had suddenly gotten into him.

Fin didn't say anything else as he let her lead him along. Anyone else, he wouldn't like it. But holding Frei's hand wasn't so bad.

--

Nic was finishing up something on his laptop as he walked in, closing it before turning to Laurel, waiting for her to talk.

Frei led him back to the Juttle before shutting the door and letting go of his hand. She looked at him for a long moment, "Fun?" she inquired.

--

Laurel didn't say anything as she continued to watch him.

Fin seemed a little sad, but he nodded and smiled a little. "Yeah," he replied.

--

After another moment Nic blinked and glanced around. "... Who was in here?" he asked as if he had just noticed.

Frei held a finger to her lips, their secret.

--

Laurel blinked, "Oh, Frei's new friend. His name is Fin and he..." she paused, realizing that saying what she thought of his eyes would sound rather dumb.

Fin nodded a little, blushing very slightly.

--

Nic frowned a little. Just how many kids did Kale pick up?

Frei watching him closely for a moment before se suddenly turned to leave.

--

Laurel finally sighed and finished her thought, "And he...reminds me of you. As odd as that sounds..." she murmured, "Something in his eyes... is similar."

"... You wanna stay longer?" Fin blurted out.

--

Nic's frown deepened. He was sure Wolfe would have kept the boy contained for now instead of letting him run around the resort. He sighed as he thought through how to go about explaining this.

Frei turned and blinked.

--

"I think Frei brought him... I still don't understand why they were in your room though," Laurel noted.

"... Like, hangout some more in the Juttle," Fin tried to explain nervously.

--

After another moment or two, Nic explained, "I was just running some analyses on his DNA."

Frei didn't appear to know what he meant by 'hangout.'

--

Laurel looked a bit flabbergasted, "On Fin?" she clarified.
