Crow blinked at him slowly, as if Rean just asked him something insanely stupid or inane and he can't even begin to compute why it was asked in the first place. But, he told himself he wouldn't outright lie to Rean because he supposes Rean could still be trusted, and so when he answered it was a roundabout answer that was more of a question than an actual answer.

"Why don't you stick around and find out, then? Stay with me and figure out for yourself why I'm here, risking my own safety."

Stay.

And then he took a step back away from Rean, his entire body relaxing as he shook his head and sighed in return. Osbourne already knew where he was and it was only a matter of time before he fell into his hands; playing it safe by staying with the Front wouldn't do anything for anyone other than temporarily calm their nerves. He was naturally warmed by Rean's concern.

They would come for him harder, try and convince him much more, but Crow wouldn't listen to anyone. Crow wasn't alone. He had Vita and the Principal, as well as Instructor Sara, and for the moment he was safe.
