Hey. Jay was as in tact as any other <del>soldier</del> Legionnaire. Just happened that at the moment his 5k time was a little slower. He took the (metaphorical) jab in stride, (also metaphorically). In fact, he'd already forgotten about it.
He wondered who her mom was that could afford to phone in a double truck of Legionnaire chauffeurs. Other than being some Brit. Natalie's file hadn't included her backstory. Which led him again, to wonder, why she was working for the Red Cross anyway. They must have impressive pull. Or at least Natalie's mom did. To make sure her daughter was safe in the middle of a coup on another continent. Supposed even charities were just political machines. Kind of a shame to realize.
She pat him on the chest and he instinctively broadened. "No problem with me. I tend to prefer salvation to peril. Most of the time."
He cleared his throat and stepped aside, his body heat having suddenly fluxed. Maybe he needed air. Or maybe the wizard coaching was too much. But - Oh damn! That's right! He'd meant to ask Natalie about- well-
His brow furrowed down trying to think of how to put it.
A Legionnaire called his name and Jay's concentration broke.
He nodded at Natalie. "If you want to get your cute and cuddly time in later, you know where to go. And the kitten will be there too."
A grin and he hobbled on down the hall.

Only darkness shows you the light.
