Last summer
this!! this was the first thing i thought of when penny said that nobody needs a rogue.
riz, trying to be the Best Investigator because even if they don’t need a rogue they sure as hell need that. riz, who cares about people so much he will tear his hands apart to get to them, but still sees his value in being useful above else
penny who strives for the best and achieves the most because nobody really needs a rogue and riz who works hard to make himself useful so his friends won't leave
"Well, I was no stranger to losing blood but usually I wasn’t asked to give it up quite so nicely. Sure, the guy was still brusque in his own highfalutin way, but I’d seen the look on the young fellas face — and I knew a thing or two about hunger myself — so it seemed only fair to help the guy out, (even if the process made me feel kinda woozy)....”

sam just embracing zelda while fully flying, suspended over the cliff-face is the most tender image???
zelda, who is is a ball of anxiety in any other situation, knowing that sam lashes out because she’s hurting. sam apologising and taking accountability for her actions. sam telling zelda how great she is, and that she should be nicer to herself! i love their dynamic!
‘pro-bono rules lawyer’ is a title aabriya and murph share, specifically to derail brennan’s plans
(thinking of aabriya in the latest combat episode vs murph’s use of swirlwarden in That One Ship Combat in crown of candy 🔥)
watching brennan lose all control during katya and penny’s turns is hilarious.
just being constantly heckled and rules-lawyered (with love)
