Summary
The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.
"I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.
"Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"
"No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

Summary
I was such an idiot. I’d let myself relax, thinking that getting to Preservation Alliance had changed things for me. But I’d risked leaving for Dr. Mensah’s conference, and now I’d been kidnapped alongside my least favorite human. Damaged goods, called back to the Corporation Rim for repairs.

Summary
James pressed one hand to his chest and affected a little bow. “You flatter me.”
Sherlock shifted his chair an inch or two closer to James’, the little tart. His eyes were intent, and hungry. When there was something he wanted, he would pursue it until he’d chased it down, and then, once he had it in his teeth, he would be gone again. There was no point getting upset about it; he didn’t do it on purpose. It was simply the way the glittering, ticking machinery of the Holmeses was made.
“I could do more,” he said, quietly, “than flatter you.”
It was the sort of thing he said when he was only playing, but his gaze was steady.
“Careful, now,” murmured James. They weren’t the only people in the bar. “You wouldn’t want me to get the wrong idea, would you?”
Sherlock Holmes needs a favour.

Summary
“Not much point asking if you've a girl back home, is there, Paddy?” David says.
It’s not said with any particular malice in the tone. If anything, it sounds fond. But Paddy still feels a very familiar lick of danger travel up his spine. “Why’s that,” he asks, flat.
David looks to Jock then shrugs and spreads his hands. “Well. You know.”
“In fact, I do not know,” Paddy says. And then, the devil taking hold of his tongue, he lies, “In fact there is a girl for me, back home.”
