"Really?" Wally asked, eyeing the offered flashlight. "Won't you need it, though? I mean, you've gotta at least use it sometimes, right?"
Not that he was going to turn down the offer, given the chance. Sure, he could still use the spare batteries, but another flashlight would be an easy way to get around the problem until then, and he could always give it back to Edward later too.
...which only left trying to stash his own failing light and then take Edward's, which was a lot harder than it sounded, since he only had one hand working properly. Eventually Wally managed to get the flashlight in his sling, taking a moment to scratch at it again (seriously, he hoped that meant it was healing up fast, otherwise it was just plain annoying), before accepting Edward's offered one.
"You are?" he asked, pleased at the prospect of some company. "Then sure! I mean, hopefully we won't run into that thing staking out the sun room last night, but I'm sort of thinking that's a one-off thing. If we're lucky. Wanna get going then?"
He waited just long enough to make sure Edward agreed, and then Wally led the way into the next hallway.
