[ True to his word, Leo had brought the Archimedes sphere to the Station with him, taking it from his rooms in Caer Glaem for the first time since that trip with Ryan and Korra and the others. He knew it wouldn't work outside that one fairy ring, but he hadn't liked the idea of leaving it there, either, especially when there was no way to guard it while he was away.
Since the snowstorms began, he'd tried to hook it up the Station computers and see if he could wire it to keep things warm here, to make sure it wouldn't all freeze, but it turned out that there was too much damage from the Jabberwock. Any other day, and he'd stay to fix it, but there were special circumstances here, and the work would take too long to complete. By the time he did, everything would be frozen solid, and while Leo knew his Blessing was enough to fight off a snow goddess, she didn't qualify as a full-blown storm.
Tl;dr: everything sucked, and it was a day ending in Y.
He kicked the console he'd been trying to get into as he stood, sphere in hand, ready to take it back underground and make sure it was secured before he started fighting the snowstorm himself. The last thing he needed was a priceless ancient artifact like this one getting irreparably damaged just because the place wasn't air-tight. It wouldn't be an issue of it could fit in his belt, but the Archimedes sphere was just big enough that it was a problem. He had a good box stowed in his room here, though, the same one he'd kept the sphere in at Caer Glaem for so long, just in case.
Before he could get downstairs to put it away, though, he heard a yell, and immediately turned to follow the sound. Leo hadn't known there was anyone else here - well, anyone that wasn't already frozen. He definitely wasn't expecting to find a kid with flames in his hand, slightly freaking out, and the sight made him pause in surprise. He was still getting used to the idea of other people being able to do that. ]
You know, fire might actually help thaw the place out a little, [ he called out, stepping closer. ]
