... Cricket does?

From:

eyediot

You're aware of the, ah. ... I hesitate to say 'gifts', but additional things we received with those towers?

From:

curriculum_fictae

[ Martin nods. ]

Finch received a boon, of sorts. Still muddling through it to be honest.

From:

eyediot

[Jon nods in turn.]

Sparrow as well. ...Cricket has plants and seeds as a resource instead of a power.

From:

curriculum_fictae

Oh. That - seems nice, actually? I really will have to trade them for some then.

What did Sparrow get?

From:

eyediot

Briar seems a reasonable enough fellow, I'm sure he'd work something out with you.

Sparrow got... a shield of some kind? Um. I don't quite know the specifics, but there are weighted bags with airbags in our training area.

From:

curriculum_fictae

... That's rather ominious.

From:

eyediot

It sounded like Ruby got hit with one by surprise earlier this morning.

I haven't really tried any of it myself.

From:

curriculum_fictae

Ah, I've tried mine a little? Mostly because it seems ... mm, controllable.

From:

eyediot

...Is it something I'll regret asking about?

From:

curriculum_fictae

No, just - a bit ironic?

[ He concentrates, and all the ambient noise of Sparrow dies away. ]

From:

eyediot

Wha-

[And then he hears nothing. A completely empty soundscape. He stares at Martin curiously.]

...I see.

From:

curriculum_fictae

Well, you hear, anyway.

I don't think anyone else can hear us like this.

From:

eyediot

Hm.

[That does get a smile from him. Jon watches Martin a little proud.]

That's good you have it. I'm sure you'll find good use for that.

From:

curriculum_fictae

I hope so. Yeah. Seems like it has utility, anyway.

But - ah, that's not why I'm here.

From:

eyediot

[Could be used to stop him should the worst happen. He's glad Martin has that option now.]

It isn't? The, muffins then?

From:

curriculum_fictae

[ something Martin has definitely thought about. ]

No, erm. I just. Had a thought during the game.

From:

eyediot

A... thought...

You're all right?

From:

curriculum_fictae

Yes, yes, perfectly fine. Just thinking.

From:

eyediot

...Penny for your thought?

From:

curriculum_fictae

[ Martin wrings his fingers a bit. ]

I just - it seems a bit silly? Yeah? Turning someone down just because you think it won’t be forever.

From:

eyediot

[Jonah watches him, clicking his mouth closed and lips pressed thin.]

I think... If it's someone you want to be happy with, even for a short time, you should pursue that if the other is up for it. Especially with our lives, there's so little opportunity.

[He has momentarily forgotten Martin may, in fact, be talking about him.]

From:

curriculum_fictae

Yeah. Yeah. Exactly.

[ Martin gives Jon a weak but hopeful smile. ]

I’m really glad you agree.

From:

eyediot

[He meets Martin's gaze, a blink of confusion before what's happening is fully sat in front of him.]

Someone on Finch caught your heart, then?

[Nothing says he can't be a little bastard about it.]

From:

curriculum_fictae

[ Martin just blinks at Jon in return? And then just. Looks affectionately exasperated. ]

I mean you, Jon.
