Summary
"Buddy and I are agreed that your particular knack for getting into trouble often proves advantageous," Jet says calmly.
"Oh."
"That is not to say I am happy to see you put yourself in harm's way," he continues.
Juno grits his teeth, tries to bite back the urge to argue, because there's no pity or blame to be found in the big guy's even tone, and even with a headache this sharp Juno knows better than to pick a fight with someone who's being reasonable and trying to, god forbid, express an interest in his well-being. "…Yeah."

Summary
His first thought is that Juno must have noticed something horribly wrong, spotted something with that keen eye of his that had bypassed Nureyev completely, and he reaches out, brushing the tips of his gloved fingers against the skin of Juno’s wrist, looking for a signal or a sign or a word of warning. What he gets is an unmistakable flinch.

Summary
Buddy leads them back into the city proper and breathes a little easier as the blaster fire gradually comes to a halt. Ransom keeps pace with her, but his footfalls are less silent than before, and more and more unsteady as time goes on. It’s scarcely a few minutes since they began the second leg of their great escape when she looks back to see him propped against a wall in the shadow of an overhanging roof, his face quite bloodless and one silk shirtsleeve turning rapidly and visibly the opposite.
The one of Buddy’s eyes in the half of her face she can move for trying goes wide. “You got hit,” she says, and it comes out unexpectedly scolding.
