Summary
It was just a walk; simply a way of burning off some energy before bed. It presented a fine opportunity to find some inspiration for poetry; perhaps an owl, looking for its mate on a moonlit windowsill, or a lone chess piece on the worn wooden floor, longing to be reunited with its battalion.
Thomas found himself where he knew he was headed all along.
“Thorne!”
The Captain had shot up out of bed, swagger stick pointed rudely at his face.
Thomas and the Captain have a way of finding each other over the years.

Thomas always had a lot running through his mind, James knew that much.
He was a constant flow of chatter and emotion and poetry that James had grown quite accustomed to tuning out and applying an appropriate “ah” of acknowledgment when it suited. It was a good system he had going, if he said so himself. It kept Thomas happy enough, and James somewhat sane.

The Captain attempts to shut Thomas up the only way he knows how.

Summary
Thomas recalled once being sucker-punched in the gut by Pat, his fist firm and unyielding, the heat ripping through him with a sharp sting followed by a heavy, dull ache in his abdomen. He had keeled over, breathless, tears flooding his eyes.
Whatever this feeling was had to be far more painful.
Thomas discovers something about the Captain and finds himself unable to cope.
