[indent][color=#fe650d]“Dude, I have to hand it to you, I would have quit the moment I took off, bro.”[/color]

Lorcán's voice came from behind Rory as the other Blackjack member opted to ignore the first, continuing to hammer away at the metal in front of him, drenched in sweat. 

He wasn't entirely sure where Amma had run off to, but he figured his best course of action would be to return to work and try to build a figurative bridge with his roommate. Rory wasn't one for grudges, but in the heat of the moment and the height of the sun, things were born to be a tad heated.

[color=#fe650d]“Y’know Bulltrue has a metal bender right?”[/color] Lorcán teased before picking up some of the metal. Looking over Rory’s shoulder at the plans, Lorcán superheated it, moulding the metal with relative ease before tossing it aside.

[color=#fe650d]“I mean I suppose you can keep bustin’ your hump out here and ignoring me. That’s cool, I get it. But you’re only tiring yourself out.”[/color] He added, bending another piece of heated metal and tossing it aside before cutting through the next like hot butter.

[color=#fe650d]“Tiring yourself out before your night with Sky Betty as I heard.”[/color] Lorcán added attempting to break the tension with a jab to Rory’s ribs that prompted a grunt and a turn as the other young man continued to work without so much as acknowledging the younger team member.

[color=#fe650d]“Look, you can be angry all you want, but at least I didn't ask Haven to the dance. That was a pretty kook thing to do.”[/color] Lorcán sliced through another piece of metal nearly overheating it before tossing it aside.

[color=#fe650d]“None of this matters anyway, you’re just as raked under as I am. No degree, what are you going to do? Even I know there aren’t a lot of options for a Jake with your abilities.”[/color] His tone softened,

[color=#fe650d]“Look, I’m sorry I ran off. It wasn't my intention to actually leave you with the work. Why don't you power up? Even in three minutes the two of us can blast through the rest of this and I’ll cover the rest once you tap out.”[/color]

He extended a hand to Rory.

[color=#fe650d]“Come on, wolves stick together, dude, two of us would be better than one. If you’re eager to see this through, let me help you, bro.”[/color][/indent][/indent][/color]
