[Tommy remained at the edge of the shell until the sun dipped below the horizon and the familiar glow began to light up around him that signalled it was night time. He'd spent the time catching his breath, refuelling, and trying to think things through.
So far? He's not really figured much out other than establishing he was an idiot, and that Rikki probably never wanted to talk to him again after all this blew over. Assuming she wasn't pregnant. He hadn't really thought about what would happen if she was. Thinking about that somehow made it seem like a more legitimate possibility. One that Tommy really didn't want to consider.
He decided that he's spent far too long on the shells edge for one day and gathers his things before starting to head back at a pace that is quite obviously dragging his feet (for a speedster anyway).]
