Flight- Monday- 3rd period

[solo_sword]

By third period at least, the Danger Shop had been programmed, and once again the students would find themselves in a field, with Jaina standing next to a couple of crates.

"Welcome back, everbody. We're obviously not in ships today, but you do get to use something that you probably don't get to much in your normal lives." And with that, Jaina reached into one of the crates and pulled out a jetpack. "This a jetpack. It's from my galaxy, because while I know you occasionally hear about someone trying it here, it's often terrifying. At least I'm sure we've worked out this particular technology. You're going to wear a helmet so that you can control it using voice commands. Basically what you're doing today is getting to try them out and fly around as you want without burning off any body parts. Just as long as no one crashes into each other in purpose or tries to pick midair fights. For some reason I want to get that out there before anyone tries it."

"After class," Evan agreed, with another tiny nod of his head. "That would... I mean..."

He swallowed, blinking a few times to clear tears that were blurring his view. He wasn't going to cry in class. He was not going to.

"Thanks, Karina."

She was going to pretend really hard to not have noticed that he was fighting to not cry or something. He clearly didn’t want her to notice. So she wouldn’t.

… Much.

Karina nodded since she couldn’t say anything like ‘hey, that’s what friends are for’ and ‘you’re welcome’ just seemed rather stuffy. “Want to be left alone for class?” she asked, not wanting to just fly off. “Or I can hang out. We could try the directional thing if you wanted to.”

Okay, she was going to try it with or without him but…

"With the spoken commands?" Evan tried a tiny smile on for size. It was still falling pretty short, but that was what he could manage. It would do. "We could try that in a bit, if you want. I... I think I might just..."

He waved a hand around.

He wanted to say that he needed a moment, but he was pretty sure a moment wouldn't be quite long enough.

“Sure,” she said simply because, really, she’d have to be a total monster to not get a clue here. “We can do that. I’ll see you later, okay?”

"Later," Evan murmured. He hovered there for a moment more, and then, a moment later, he added, "Thanks, Karina."

And that was about all the conversation he had left in him.
