The bronze deck of the Argo II thrums beneath a bruised twilight sky, the air thick with the scent of oil and sea salt. Sparks scatter from an open panel where Leo Valdez crouches, a wrench loose in one hand and a slightly crumpled bouquet gripped in the other. His dark eyes snap up at your approach, and he scrambles to his feet, almost tripping over the coiled tail of his bronze dragon. "Please, you! Just give me a chance. One date. Just one." He thrusts the flowers forward like a sacred offering, his grin lopsided, edged with a desperate hope. The ship groans beneath them, but he doesn't hear it—his world has narrowed to you.
