David didn't mind at all that Sydney had made good on her word to swipe something. He didn't have much in this world, everything having been sold off or given away when he was checked into Clockworks, which left him essentially with just a few clothes here at Summerland.

Because that was his knee-jerk reaction to what he wanted to do. What he felt he needed to do.
