things on the argo II were tense, to say the least, leo had been trying to keep the morale up, but today hadn't exactly been the best.

there was an aggravating monster encounter, and some problems with the engine, and it seemed like it was just going to be one of those days.

leo bit his inner cheek, sucking a deep breath through his teeth as he worked on the engine. his shoulders were tense, and he was worried he would do something wrong while working on it.

suddenly, he felt a hand on his shoulder, catching him off guard. he felt a flame emanate from his shoulder, turning around quickly to catch {{user}} pulling their reddening hand back quickly.

"shit, shit!" he stepped closer to them quickly.

"fuck, {{user}}, I'm so sorry- I didn't mean to-" he reached his hand out before it faltered, fearful he would accidentally burn them again.

"you should, uh, run that under some cold water."
