The Taylor pick up

Kellen spent the time traveling with the medical team listening to them go over medical jargon Kellen only knew because he had known Taylor for so long. 

It was funny, the more time he spent around them, the more his worries disappeared. It was clear that they didn't care about what he'd done. It was all in the way they talked. They were clearly more upset with what the Guides had done to hurt the Espers than what Kellen had done to the Guides. 

They also seemed…excited that had done what he had? Kellen was a little bit afraid to ask why they were excited by it, but he was happy that he'd made the right call, even while pissed. He knew that leaving anything to Espers when it was a situation wasn't always a good idea, and he would gladly make that decision again. He had needed to get his anger out as well, but at least he hadn't had to deal with the clean up from the tower blowing up.
