For definitely not the first time today, Dustin is surprised to the point of silence.
That's...it? That's all it takes? He can't help but feel like becoming a Friend to All Barrys would require more hoop-jumping and errand-running, more politics. Perhaps there's more waiting for him under the surface and he just hasn't seen it yet.
The promise of future tasks is, therefore, exactly what Dustin is expecting. He's almost relieved. [Of course,] he taps with a breath, relaxing slightly. [I repay my debts.]
Speaking of being in debt - [No need for shelter,] Dustin continues, glancing up at the sky. Based on the time elapsed, his path here, the position of the stars...yeah, he knows where he is. Taking the train back to Temba is preferable at night, anyway, while there's a lower chance of anyone else being on it and disturbing his sleep. [I have somewhere to stay.]
