"You take all the time you need," he agrees, letting go of him, still grinning but looking softer now.
"It's a lot to take in."
"Thank you."
He takes a deep breath.
"For...for everything."
"I feell-- I mean, I feel kinda-- honored, y'know? That I got to help out. I dunno what I did, but I'm glad I got to do it."
He genuinely doesn't know, but he must've done something right.
"They all...helped. Jesse, Rey, Alec. My friends. And you. I told you you didn't need to know anything about magic," he adds, quietly.
"I shoulda kept my big mouth shut and listened, huh?"
He gives him a soft little smile.
"You did," Credence reminds him, then takes a deep breath.
"...I need to go and tell Quentin. And everyone else, later."
But Quentin first, and in person.
He gives him one good, long hug again, and then lets him go.
"Yeah. Go and tell 'em. You let me know if you need anything? I'm-- I mean, I'm still gonna be your friend."
"I'll let you know. And you will too."
It's a statement, not a question. They're still going to be friends.
"You betcha."
He pats the badge in his pocket, and shakes his head in happy disbelief as he lets Credence have a moment to himself.
