@searingspirit Lio turned his attention to Lucia’s screens, his features turning rigid in a serious expression once more. He understood well how Burnish flames affected buildings and escape routes, but of course normal fire was a bit more unpredictable. He knew that while people on the lower—
@searingspirit Galo was so cute. “We were kidding. I was, anyway. I don’t think anyone here would argue that you get the job done.” It was a nice distraction from what they were going to face shortly.
@searingspirit Lio blinked widely, before an amused smirk spread across his face. “Galo? Showboating? Don’t worry, I’m used to it,” he teased, looking right at the other.
@searingspirit Lio quietly nodded, falling silent. He looked over at Galo. He knew very well just how seriously Galo took his job, yet it was incredible to see him actually /in/ his role, so passionate and resolute- some of the qualities that Lio appreciated most about him. And it was—
@searingspirit job,” he noted, not only because he himself was a former Burnish, but because of Galo and the rest of the team. They were all trustworthy; Lio had no doubts about that.
@searingspirit At the mention of the building being for displaced Burnish, Lio’s heart sunk, and he looked down at his gloved hands, imagining their distress almost too personally. But it ignited Lio’s resolve to help those people even more.

@searingspirit Fire, in general, /was/ normal for Lio, but he understood what Galo meant.

Lio’s nerves didn’t sync up with his thoughts, though. Something about this made him uneasy, but it was senseless to dwell on it when he needed to focus, so he pushed the feeling aside as he climbed into the truck.
@searingspirit “Right.” As he readied up, Lio’s head was filled with thoughts about their destination, piecing together the details they were being given. It was clear that this situation was beyond a standard incident, and to not have any advanced gear..
Well, he had prepared for this kind—
@searingspirit what to do, yet it was still surreal to him that this was really happening. His first deployment..
Galo definitely had him beat this time, though it only took a few extra seconds for Lio to trail up behind him.
@searingspirit Lio, being one to inadvertently stay up pretty late, had been watching TV next to the other when the alarm sounded. Perhaps it was his lack of experience, but for just an instant, Lio remained unmoving, still processing it. He had been trained for this exact scenario. He knew—
@searingspirit Really?
*He tried to mask how interested he was, but it still came through in his eyes*
..How about you give us all a demonstration, then?
