Lyra was smirking in understanding as she nodded along; breaking and entering had definitely been on both her and Avery's list of things to do at one point. "I know exactly what you mean, our – I guess kind of second date? Not that we were really... anyway, second time I met up with Avery we broke into a frat house to investigate the same sorta thing, so I am with you on how cute he is when he's on a mission."
It was funny how telling the story this way stripped all the horror out of it, the freaked out goosebumps that'd prickled all over her as they crouched at the window watching Archer do the impossible and heal Ricky. But then, it wouldn't have been as good without their shared horror, maybe wouldn't've bound them together so strongly. It had been horrifying, but it had also been abso-fucking-lutely worth it.
