hey thomas do you know if you're gonna stay in wyver or head back to olympia?
[ because he definitely cares and is suddenly very worried he'll be far from his new friends (not that thomas is strictly a friend exactly after, well, y'know). ]
[ nightingale feels like he should have reached out much further. asked how eggsy is doing, whether he's quite all right, whether what occurred was — too much. unwanted or unwelcome. (he remembers eggsy's yeah, yes, the way he'd looked at thomas, but nothing had been quite normal that night, had it?)
he should have, but he hadn't known how to phrase it. this message now is welcome in it's apparent casual nature. thomas still takes a moment to compose his answer. ]
Eggsy. It's good to hear from you. I was thinking of returning to Olympia. What are your plans?
[ he remembers, at the last moment, not to sign it. ]
[ he hadn't thought to say it first, but he's glad to hear from thomas as well. eggsy doesn't feel any regret over that night, even if he's still somewhat surprised anything happened. ]
i've been thinking the same. henry prefers olympia, and it's just us from home, you know? i'm glad you're leaning olympia, too, guv wouldn't wanna leave any of the english behind
it's good to see the other night has had no impact on eggsy's sense of humour of the ease with which he addresses thomas. it eases some of his worries. ]
I'll admit, I'm looking forward to wearing something other than linen again.
[ too formal and too formalistic a response, thomas knows, but obligations and debts have meaning in his world beyond the moral or legal. he doesn't want eggsy beholden to him. ]
