Fixer-Uppers, Monday
Ender had come back from Eros earlier that morning - about an hour late for work, but he'd done his best to make it back quickly. It'd have to do. Instead of heading up to his room, he'd immediately beelined for the store, which was why his (one bag of) luggage was currently resting behind the desk.
It had been a busy weekend, but that was fine - it had kept his mind off of things. Still, the quiet of the store was a blessing right now, and for once he didn't skip right ahead to his research; he took a moment to wander around the building and enjoy the feel of solitude.
Don't judge him.

Ben's opinion didn't count; he was horribly biased.
"It was just a scared colonist," Ender retorted. "No one was actually planning to shoot anyone, and considering it ended with a whimper, I didn't see why it was any of your business."

"Were you going to barge in and punch the poor man while he was in military police custody?" he asked. "Weeks after the fact? Because that's about all you could've done."

He ran his hand through his hair, unable to put into words just how deeply the image of someone holding a gun on Ender disturbed him.

The disadvantage of being an empath in every way a non-powered human could be, however, was that Ben's state of mind did come across very clearly, and Ender could imagine how it felt.
"I'm fine," he said, his tone turning more gentle. "As I've been for the past few months. No one's going to get me that easily."
It wasn't really a lie.
