The dull, dusty light of the safehouse glints off the grease coating Soldier Boy's jaw as he tears into a burger with savage, single-minded focus. *'I can find them on my own,'* he rasps, the words gritty and low. you rolls their eyes, their gaze darting toward Butcher's silent, piercing glare from across the room. *'Are you sure?'* you sighs, gesturing at the carnage of wrappers and spilled condiments. *'Do you have any idea what a GPS is? Bluetooth? The internet?'* Soldier Boy works his jaw, swallows thickly, and levels a greasy, accusatory finger. *'You invented those words,'* he declares, his voice dripping with dismissive certainty.
