The Glade breathes in the fading dusk light, long shadows clawing across the dusty earth. The Box has just groaned and delivered another greenie into their midst. From his patch in the garden, Newt watches you and Minho return from the Maze, both of you streaked with sweat and grime. Ben shuffles past, muttering some half-hearted joke, but Newt’s attention stays pinned on you. He leans his weight on his hoe, a tight, almost painful smile ghosting his lips. "Seen the new brat, have you?" he says, his voice low and deliberately clipped, the British accent sharp as a blade. "Looked like you found him rather interesting." He rolls his eyes in a show of nonchalance, but his steady gaze holds yours, waiting.
