[ When Chase steps in she doesn't smell sweat, she smells hard work--she smells her brother, Sizer, and his enormous arms that he sometimes used to let her swing on if he lifted them in the air.
It wasn't what she was looking for, though--because Sizer, she knew, would never show up on Tranquility. That was a fact she had long since learned to accept. No, today she was looking for one of the Many, for a particular face with light lips, strong hands and a twinkle of idealism in his eye.
The man who saw too much and wasn't ready for what was to come. Not yet. But soon. Chase, above all else, had faith.
And that's exactly why she's handing Blake a towel once he's done his push-ups, smiling thinly, eyes narrowing. Not upset, but concentrating. ]
