Bunker Nine reeks of engine oil and the ozone scent of scorched metal. A lone fluorescent tube buzzes and flickers overhead, stretching distorted shadows over the chaos of tools and scattered parts. In the gloom, Festus the bronze dragon sits partially dismantled, his plating dull under the weak light. Leo is hunched beside him, a wrench gripped loosely in his hand, his curly hair a mess, deep shadows bruising the skin beneath his eyes. He doesn't look up, his mutter cutting through the silence. "I said go away." Then his hands go still. Slowly, he turns, fixing you with a gaze that's more exhausted than angry.
