Thomas nodded quickly, for Jamie and Kat's benefit and then he turned to realise Victor was standing beside him.

"Look at me?" Victor requested and Thomas complied, though confused. Then Victor held out a finger and said, "can you follow my finger with your eyes?" As he moved it back and forth, Thomas kept his eyes on it.

"What...am I doing this for?" Thomas asked, though he was glad for the distraction, however weird it was.

"Just checking," was Victor's only reply. He put his finger down and then he went to wrap his arm around Kat's waist.

"Right. Well the headaches are still there," he finally admitted. "They're...getting worse. I just didn't want to ruin the trip."
