    Summary

    Scar had sounded friendly, over the comm. Delighted to hear Grian’s voice, the longing of a terraformer who’d been stuck away from living planets for ages creeping into his tone. Wait, Grian, are you coming in person? Can’t you stretch your delivery window a little? We could always say there were asteroid beasts trying to eat us. Etho would back me up, and it’s not like they could extend our contracts–

    If there’s asteroid beasts, I’m staying right in my pilot’s seat where I can flee them in style, Grian had retorted.

    No, no, only good things here, Scar had protested, the reports of beasts have been greatly exaggerated, and you know, we have algae, we all like algae, we’re all about eating your greens–

    Scar had aimed for Grian’s center of mass. His stunner had been set one level below lethal. If it had hit where he was aiming, Grian would’ve had worse heart palpitations than this, bordering on deadly. Trouble breathing.

    Certainly trouble escaping.

    Summary

    “I’m leaving for a while,” Grian tells Xisuma, who goes very still indeed at the suggestion that a fairy might spend the night outside of the hollow. “Just for a few days, now that I’m healed– I won’t be going far, and I’ll be extremely careful, I swear it, you don’t even know careful until you’ve seen how careful I’ve been, and Scar’s saying I’m much better at hiding than I was, anyway, so there’s no need to worry on that account.”

    “Goodness, er, well–”

    “And I’ve already packed, including all the pixie dust I’ll need,” Grian says firmly, “but you can look through what I’m bringing with me, if you’d like. To be sure I haven’t taken anything I’m not supposed to.”

    “I’m not sure that’s necessary,” Xisuma says, and this is good, because it means Grian successfully diverted him from the main thing he was likely to object to. Grian can fly circles around Xisuma if he’s devious enough. He used to dodge scouts all the time, before–

    Before.

    He used to bait hawks.

    Summary

    “Is everyone clear on the plan?” Phil double-checks his comm, weapons and lockpick jammed in the back of his boots, and leans back to avoid crashing into Wilbur as he runs out of the kitchen, shoving his pistol on its holster with one hand and trying to tug on his boots with the other.

    “Yes, dad,” yells Tommy from where he’s sprawled on the sofa, hand out as he scrolls through a holo vid. The couch is a ratty thing, fraying at the edges, but Wilbur and Tommy dragged it in after the last job they did, cramming it in a corner of the shared living space of the ship, because this hunk of metal is so depressing, Philza Minecraft. “We’ve gone through it a thousand times. We get in, talk to the dipshit in charge, find the data, get out. Easy.” He waves his hand and the hologram dissipates as he gets up. 

    “Painfully eloquent,” comes Techno’s dry voice from the door to the cockpit.

    Summary

    This time, Scar's smile visibly twists, turns into something bitter that Grian hasn't seen in his face before.

    "It's okay, Grian," he says. "I'm comfortable here, you don't need to do this." Grian blinks, confused.

    "I—do what?" Scar raises an eyebrow at him and tucks a strand of hair behind his pointed ear.

    "You're being nice," Scar says, discarding a blue fabric. Grian privately agrees, it's gaudy. "And it's sweet, really, but I'm okay."

    "Scar, that's not—" Grian shakes his head. "That's ridiculous! I'm not just being nice!"

    Scar looks up at him from where he's folded on the floor, grasping at velvet, and he suddenly looks very small and very tired.

    "Sure," he says, and the tone makes Grian bristle, despite himself.

    "Scar," he says, trying to keep calm. "Why would I do that? When have I ever been nice to anyone just for the sake of it? You're my friend—scratch that, you're our friend!" Scar huffs a little laugh and Grian watches him, helpless. "I—where is this coming from, man?"

    (Or, Grian and Scar deal with some of the fallout from Last Life.)
