Dallmin learnt how to use the device very quickly for someone who had never been exposed to any sort of electronics before. It was the sort of thing that would have entranced him just a few weeks earlier. Bane told him to keep it with him at all times and not let it get wet, and explained that the brand new battery should last at least a couple of days so long as he only used it for emergencies. I had a feeling he’d set it up so we could use it to track him if required. Such useful technology, and yet my own new phone sat in the back pocket of my jeans, weighing me down. I tried not to think about it.
With one last tight hug, I told Dallmin I wanted him to return in three days at the latest, because I was worried for his safety.
