"I don't," he said quietly. "Need the crutch." He used it and it helped, but he didn't need it. "It probably has a dent from my father's face in it anyway." But Michael had 'please'd him and so he followed Michael outside. He did wonder why Michael had dragged him inside only to pull him back out again, but he supposed he had his reasons.
Things with Michael were already so complicated. Out of all of them, Michael should have been the one who went off to go do something. Who changed the world. And he was learning that it was more complicated than he'd come to believe, but just staying in town when he clearly hated it here didn't make any sense.
Of course it never occurred to him that he hadn't explained to Michael how he'd found out about his father.
BTW, are you on Plurk?
