The time Cassie's distraction took up was enough for him to calm down. He had let himself get too angry and it was only the awfulness of Dauntless that had allowed him to get away with it. He had to make sure he didn't push it in the future.

Kon grinned. "What, on account of fact I reek of eau de jock? Why do you think I'm switching factions? I figured out early on I wasn't really cut out for that whole data-pushing smart guy thing. I wasn't surprised at all when I tested for Dauntless."

"That does make sense," said Christina, blinking as she realized the logic of it.
