“ i’d rather take the risk, ” august huffs, chuckling nervously. doesn’t actually mean it. you hurt enough, you’ll say anything. (they were exploring an abandoned house. he got the bright idea to smash a window with his bare hand. you know, like the movies.) he’s blaming their before-adventure snack of soda and candy for that little disaster.

          ❛       so,   wait    ----    what happens if you’ve gotta save someone falling from like a great height?   like if my zipline gave away right now and i was plummeting for god’s waiting room     --    how would you save me?    you’d just set me on fire?     that’s worse !       ❜

          ❛    ———   you said you had computers,   PLURAL,   for one thing.   and for another,   you ain’t doin’ much with ‘em from the sound of it anyway,   so.   relax.   it’ll get more use this way.   ❜   and he continues tinkering away,   unflustered.   BOREDOM’S settled in  ;   defense on rocket’s side says   :   at least he’s found a relatively TAME way to keep himself occupied.

never have i related more to cassie than now
