Flick shook his head, an arm wrapped around his friend tighter.
"I don't think even Thiede can control destiny that much. Can he? You didn't have to react the way you did when you first saw Cal. But you did. It was meant to be. Did I ever tell you what happened to me when I heard the Call? My parents had me on some kind of drug so I wouldn't hear it. And I didn't. But I could still see what I needed to do, even if I couldn't hear it all the way. You can't fight it. I'm not sure if it's destiny or not, but I do know that something in me connected with that har that I followed, who brought me to Orien to be incepted. Can you really say that didn't happen to you Pell? It just....is."
Flick could tell him more, and is half tempted too, but more news about Cal can wait. Pell didn't need to know about Tyson right now. Orien was painful. Finding out that Cal hosted for Terzien, well, Flick didn't want to hurt his friend.
"Mima's fine. And she doesn't hate you. I think she understands, you two are a lot alike. I thought she was you when I first saw her. I promise you, Mima is safe. We've worked out a life together. I think she always knew you had to leave, Pell."
