"Guys," Leo said, "fix the thermostat in here, and I would totally move in."

Sage rose a brow, struggling to slide off of the dragon. "It's not bad, just doesn't have the best interior design. Maybe if they added some furniture or, oh, I don't know. A carpet? Than I'd join you."

"You sayin' you wanna live with me, Princesca?"

Before she could respond, Jason stepped beside her, holding her arms up with an awkward smile. "Need help?"

She blinked a few times, glancing at Piper who nodded. "Uh- yes please."

Jason nodded, grabbing her waist and placing her onto the floor. Sage muttered a 'thanks' while he nodded, shuffling toward Leo. Piper on the other hand was quick to latch herself onto Sage's arm again.

"Are you embarrassed? You're glowing."

"Pip!" Sage groaned. "You can't just-"

-point out the obvious?" Piper asked.

"Yeah! That!"

Piper rolled her eyes, dragging Sage toward the others. "Someone has too. There's been this weird tension between you two, anything with a set of working eyes can see that."

"Good thing mine don't work properly."

Festus shuddered and snorted flames. Frost had started to form on his scales.

"No, no, no." Zethes marched over, though how he could walk in those pointy leather shoes, Leo had no idea. "The dragon must be deactivated. We can't have fire in here. The heat ruins my hair." 

Festus growled and spun his drill-bit teeth.

"'S'okay, boy." Leo turned to Zethes. "The dragon's a little touchy about the whole deactivation concept. But I've got a better solution."

"Wouldn't anyone be 'touchy' about the deactivation concept?" Sage muttered, earning a playful glare from Leo.

"Destroy?" Cal suggested.

"No, man. You gotta stop with the destroy talk. Just wait."

"Leo," Piper said nervously, "what are you-"

Sage flicked Pipers nose, glancing at Jason momentarily. "I trust him, don't you guys?"

"Watch and learn, ladies." He bowed slightly, nodding gratefully toward Sage. "When I was repairing Festus last night, I found all kinds of buttons. Some, you do not want to know what they do. But others... Ah, here we go."
