Watching his phone with care taken to not entirely ignore obstacles of other people walking and objects, he makes it almost all the way to the corner of the next street before a new signal is strong enough to register. Phone pocketed, he turns around to walk with a much faster pace to return to Walter where he leans at the wall.

Easing himself next to his friend to also lean against the wall, he gives the report, “About a meter shy of the corner. At least for this side of the street.”
