Sadde is home; it's a Friday evening, his shift is over, and there's no school. He's reading a book, lying on his bed in his small-but-tidy apartment.
He is also quite naked, because it's his place and why not?

Given how good his hearing is, that takes a bit, but it does happen.

Yes, that's the point.
"Well, that was fun," he remarks, putting his staff away. "You all right?"

Leap lets go and beams at Sokoreth. "Yeah! That was really cool."
And Dauntless chooses that moment to arrive, surveying the scene. "Hookwolf?" he asks.
"Oh man, you shoulda seen Sokoreth, Hookwolf was all like 'rawr' and Sokoreth went all 'nah' and blasted him in the face and he hit the wall, it was awesome!"
Dauntless looks at Sokoreth.

Sokoreth grins. "It was fun. One of these days people will learn to stop underestimating me and then I'll have to work to win my battles."
"It'll happen," Dauntless agrees. "Once you get a rep. Today's stunt has probably helped speed that along, at least where the Empire's concerned."
Leap stares. "Ah. Yes. The lazy days. Where you spend fourteen hours studying."
Patrol patrol. Less flashy bouncy antics.

They giggle. "It's cute when you kiss my mask," they say, holding him and flying out, away from the shore.

They giggle again. "I'm glad you like it. You had me half-worried when I described it and you thought it was creepy."

"It's not unsettling at all! It's whimsical and cute and I'll kick villain butt and they'll be all humiliated over being defeated by this."
