Riley thought it wasn't necessary to tag along for this enrollment, but Skye wouldn't allow him to stay behind.
And besides, his mother had left early in search of the supposed 'job,' so he decided to follow Henry and Skye here.
Still, in a way, he is glad. He can never be glad enough that now Skye can look at his father and smile.
Turns out it wasn't something complicated after all, it didn't take much to bring them together, to connect.
Just one time of being sent to Henry, and everything aligned itself.
Now, when they look at each other, they don't seem like a frightened boy staring at a beast. They seem like what they should be... a son and his father.
That alone lightens Riley's heart, unexpectedly. For reasons he can't even explain, it makes him feel relieved to see Henry setting aside his own issues and choosing instead to make things right with his son.
