Fleur was poking Walking in the cheek and trying to get his full attention. She had no idea why he had been so distracted the entire walk to the Genesis building. Walker on the other hand had been in a daze. He was trying to rationalize every thought he had when the high priest had left him with such words. But he couldn't come to accept such a thing. He was still too young. There was so much more to do in life. He had so much to still explore, Entire cities he had never been to. How could he consider settling down in that way?
Part of Walker believed the high priest had been messing with him just because it was fun for him to do so. Then the other part of Walker believed it was a dead serious admittance of how the high priest felt. Either way, Walker was stuck in his own head until he pushed the door open and revealed the busy Genesis building.
