Jack took his time walking over to Skunk as she lay there, letting her have her breather now that it was over. He waved at the crowd as they cheered, and picked out Orabel and Ember on their feet next to...gross, his cousin. Well, that was going to make things awkward. He took Skunk's hand, and smiling, shook it.
"Oh, I make my own luck. But thanks regardless." Then, in a flash, he pulled off her hair tie and was headed for the stands, now that the aura shielding had dropped.
"And thanks for this!" he called out, over his shoulder. A quick blink or two had him well on his way up to where Orabel was sitting, and he ran, hopped, and flipped the rest of the distance, ending up right next to her. He was careful not to shove Ember out of the way, and as Orabel held out her hand expectantly, he slipped the hairtie onto her wrist. And, with the whole world watching, the completely shirtless and sweating Jack Pettibone lifted his girl off the ground by the waist and kissed her passionately to thunderous applause.
Yep, they were eating it up.
