"I don't like using machines, Trea."

Skerren, the young sword-wielding super hero, and Trea, his secret crush and fellow hero in training, are wary of going up to fight the Rustov emperor. But they give each other courage in this short scene.

It’s a Jack Blank Adventure fanfic.
It’s a short story.
A little Skerren/Trea moment <3
You don’t have to have read the book to understand the story, but maybe the setting. I did my best to kind of give you the feel of it.
They’re in the middle of a war with alien robots.
