Leo
He waited for Rory to move back before slipping on his helmet, but, just as he readied the torch, something told him to stop.
Why is he staring at me?
“You good kid? Do you-” Leo stopped, fingers about to drop his visor frozen in place. Something about the kid reminded him of a test pilot who’d nearly gone down with his ship. The man had to be transferred to another position. “Hey, you need space? I’ve done this plenty. Maybe not on tile, but heaps of other stuff. Did it hanging off my ship once when we had an air leak out of atmosphere.”
He slowly resumed prepping the torch, but left his helmet visor up so Rory could see his face.
“You ever used one of these before?”

Rory
“I’ve done this plenty,” Leo said. “Maybe not on tile, but heaps of other stuff. Did it hanging off my ship once when we had an air leak out of atmosphere.”
Ship…. atmosphere. That meant a flying ship. An airplane.
fighter jets
Rory sucked in a sharp breath through his teeth.
Leo’s voice sounded, dragging him back to the present. “You ever used one of these before?”
Something whistled in his memory and there was a bright flash. Red lights. Yelling–
Rory blinked several times and shook his head quickly.
No half-heartedness and no worldly fear must turn us aside from following the light unflinchingly.
Leo
His eyebrows quirked, but he didn’t question Rory’s agitated silence. God knew what was going through the kid’s head.
He flicked the torch on to a low, white flame. The sealent bubbled a bit under the heat. He slowly turned it up to a much hotter blue, thankful for his well fired gauntles. His visor closed of it’s own accord, sensing the rising temperature.
It only took a few seconds for the seal to lose its opaque whiteness and turn clear. Leo switched off the torch.
“There, all done. Now we let that cool and don’t let any kids sign their names in it like they did the pavement outside.” He grinned as he slipped off his helmet. “Not that I ever did anything like that when I was young.”

*Leo is concerned. He wonders if maybe this Ellette girl needs adopting too*

Fork the Gorkyes!! I do!!! Can I be adopted too?!?? 🥹🥺
Rory
Rory drew in a slow breath as Leo turned off the flame. For a moment that awful scene had threatened to flash through his mind. Thankfully, he’d fought it back.
This time.
“There, all done. Now we let that cool and don’t let any kids sign their names in it like they did the pavement outside.” Leo grinned as he slipped off his helmet. “Not that I ever did anything like that when I was young.”Rory blinked. “They wrote their names in stone? Were they war heroes?” He shivered slightly. War heroes were always cruel. And brutal.
No half-heartedness and no worldly fear must turn us aside from following the light unflinchingly.
We’ve reached 500 pages, guys
Felicity
“He’s my, uh,” Felicity’s face reddened as she suddenly remembered what she had said the day before. She hurriedly turned her face away from Chase for a moment. “He’s my best friend. Or something.”

Okay, so my brain has been reading things with interesting twists to words. I literally just read that as “We’ve reached 500 papayas, guys.”
