Lor and Harold woke in the comfort of an inexpensive suite near the middle of Radius's tower, a few floors below the construction zone. Both of them were eager to go outside and retrieve their metals, and their truck, but neither could exit the premises.
Apparently "infectious disease specialist"--the business title of the rail-thin man the pair of Rasmodians managed to scrounge up for the generous man with the large gun--was NOT in fact code for "hacker with skills in computer virusery".
"How you feeling?" Harold asked from the floor in a voice husky from sleep.
Lor stared at the ceiling, nodding slowly. "Fine, are you--"
"--hungry? Yes. We should--"
"--wander downstairs for a bite?"
Lor had been granted the bed, a concession for his exceptional calm in the face of high-class Rasmodians the night before, and now he peered over the side. "What if they're still here?"
Harold snorted, stretching his arms over his head and sitting up in preparation to move around the suite, unbound to his "baby" twin brother as they were out of the public eye--out of proximity of possible strangers. He rubbed a palm over his deep purple mohawk and considered Lor with half-lidded eyes of violet. "That's what you're worried about? Not a gun, but--"
"--the ladies? Yes." Lor scrubbed the sides of his face and tugged a queen-sized bed's worth of rumpled sheets up to his chin. "They're terrifying."
"But lovely," Harold said softly. "You wanted to--"
"--sculpt them in blue marble?" Lor sighed. "I can't--"
"--help it. I know." Harold passed a soothing touch over his brother's forehead. "It's who we are, Lor. What we do. The Fettered One approves."

Dreams come in a size too big so we can grow into them.
