His thumb finds the case; he prizes it just open without drawing it out of its nest, until he’s caught a glint of the steel inside. Then it’s both hands all the way in, the case cradled in one while he keeps the lid open with the other.
He takes inventory in silence, the fuzzy lines around his mouth set in grim with recognition. She’ll see the subtle switch of him closing it again, and the more distinct motion involved in him tucking it away. Right where he found it, noscope 360 while he’s preoccupied.
Thinking.
“I am a Rifter.”
This, he assures when he finally looks back over to her. Still crouched.
