"I could go with you...?" He repeats, though the hope in his voice fades quickly when Xavier has to point out, "Two more months of seventeen left in me, technically."
He scratches his head, frowning. Arbitrary bullshit. He lets his hand slide down to his face and drums his fingers against his chin, thinking over Reid's words. After a tick, Zav props himself up to glance out the window at the scenery rolling by, jaw working as he tries to put his thoughts into order. "Wouldn't mind trying it, anyway."
Sinking back down into Reid's arms, Xavier suggests the first thing that comes to mind. "My parents don't know I'm an animagus. They could just...not see me at all." It's a stupid idea. Even he knows that. MACUSA is there to make sure everyone gets where they need to go. A missing teenager is exactly what they're trying to avoid. He finds one of Reid's hands with his own, lacing their fingers together. "I'm gonna tell 'em I'm going home with you."
