#Crane Operator Certificate

[elite-offshore]

A career as a crane operator can be quite lucrative and rewarding. However, this being a skill, depends on individual interest. Here are some factors to consider:

1. Crane operators are often in demand, especially in offshore, construction, shipping, and manufacturing industries. As infrastructure projects increase and construction continues to expand globally, the need for skilled crane operators remains steady.

2. Crane operators can earn a good income. Salaries vary based on factors such as location, experience, and type of crane operated, but generally, they can earn above-average wages.

3. Operating a crane requires specialized skills and training. As you gain experience and expertise, you may have opportunities to operate more advanced equipment or move into supervisory roles. The training for offshore Offshore Crane Operators are in 3 stages. It takes time to become an Offshore Crane Operator Stage 3 operator. Elite Offshore Pvt Ltd, based in Navi Mumbai, provides training and certification of crane operators for Mobile RT Crane, Offshore Crane, EOT Crane, Hydra & Farana etc. They also provide training and certification for Crane Inspectors. You may get in touch with them for more details..

4. As long as construction and related industries exist, crane operators will be needed. This provides a certain level of job stability, although economic fluctuations can affect demand to some extent.

5. Crane operators often work outdoors and in various weather conditions. They may also work at heights, which can be challenging for some individuals but exciting for others. The offshore crane operators work on offshore rigs. There are floating cranes with capacity in thousands of tonnes.

6. Operating heavy machinery like cranes comes with inherent risks. Safety protocols must be followed diligently to prevent accidents and injuries.

Thus a career as a crane operator can be fulfilling for those who enjoy working with heavy machinery, have a good sense of spatial awareness, and are committed to safety. It offers a combination of job stability, good pay, and opportunities for advancement for those willing to invest in training and gaining experience.

AUDIE MURPHY

Section 46, Grave 366-11

He wanted to join the Marines, but he was too short. The paratroopers wouldn't have him, either. Reluctantly, he settled on the infantry, and ultimately became one of the most decorated heroes of World War II. He was Audie Murphy, the baby-faced Texas farmboy who became an American legend. Murphy grew up on a sharecropper's farm in Hunt County, Texas. After his father deserted the family, he helped raise his 11 brothers and sisters, dropping out of school in the fifth grade to earn money picking cotton. He was 16 years old when his mother died, and he watched as his siblings were doled out to an orphanage or to relatives. Seeking an escape from this difficult life, Murphy enlisted in the Army in 1942 — falsifying his birth certificate so that he appeared to be 18, one year older than he actually was. 

Following basic training, Murphy was assigned to the 15th Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division in North Africa. First entering combat in July 1943, during the invasion of Sicily, he proved himself to be a proficient marksman and a highly skilled soldier. He consistently demonstrated how well he understood the techniques of small-unit action. Murphy landed at Salerno, Italy to fight in the Voltuno River campaign, and then at Anzio to be part of the Allied force that fought its way to Rome. Throughout these campaigns, Murphy's skills earned him advancements in rank, because many of his superior officers were being transferred, wounded or killed. After the capture of Rome in June 1944, Murphy earned his first decoration for gallantry.

Shortly thereafter, his unit was withdrawn from Italy to train for Operation Anvil-Dragoon, the invasion of southern France that began on August 15, 1944. During seven weeks of fighting in that successful campaign, Murphy's division suffered 4,500 casualties, and he became one of the most decorated men in his company. But his biggest test was yet to come.

On January 26, 1945, near the village of Holtzwihr in eastern France, Lt. Murphy's forward positions came under fierce attack by the Germans. Against the onslaught of six Panzer tanks and 250 infantrymen, Murphy ordered his men to fall back to better their defenses. Alone, he mounted an abandoned, burning tank destroyer and, with a single machine gun, contested the enemy's advance. Wounded in the leg during the heavy fire, Murphy remained there for nearly an hour, repelling the attack of German soldiers on three sides and single-handedly killing 50 of them. His courageous performance stalled the German advance and allowed him to lead his men in the counterattack which ultimately drove the enemy from Holtzwihr. For this, Murphy was awarded the Medal of Honor, the United States' highest award for gallantry in action.

By the end of World War II, Murphy had become one of the nation's most-decorated soldiers, earning an unparalleled 28 medals (including three from France and one from Belgium). Murphy had been wounded three times during the war. In May 1945, when victory was declared in Europe, he had still not reached his 21st birthday.

Audie Murphy returned to a hero's welcome in the United States. His photograph appeared on the cover of Life magazine, and actor James Cagney persuaded him to embark on an acting career. Still shy and unassuming, Murphy arrived in Hollywood with only his good looks and — by his own account — "no talent." Nevertheless, he went on to make more than 40 films. His first part was just a small one in the 1948 film "Beyond Glory." The following year, he published his wartime memoir, "To Hell and Back," which received positive reviews. In 1955, he portrayed himself in the movie version of the book. Many film critics, however, believe that his best performance was "The Red Badge of Courage," director John Huston's 1951 Civil War epic based on the novel by Stephen Crane. 

Murphy retired from acting after 21 years, and subsequently bred race horses and pursued various business ventures. But he struggled financially, due to gambling and unsuccessful investments, and he declared bankruptcy in 1968. Murphy suffered from what is now known as post-traumatic stress disorder, experiencing headaches, depression and nightmares; he once said that he could sleep only with a loaded pistol under his pillow. In 1971, at the age of 46, Murphy died in the crash of a private plane near Roanoke, Virginia.

Audie Murphy is buried in Section 46, just across from the Memorial Amphitheater. A special flagstone walkway has been constructed to accommodate the large number of people who stop to pay their respects to this hero. 

Medal of Honor citation:

"2d Lt. Murphy commanded Company B, which was attacked by 6 tanks and waves of infantry. 2d Lt. Murphy ordered his men to withdraw to prepared positions in a woods, while he remained forward at his command post and continued to give fire directions to the artillery by telephone. Behind him, to his right, 1 of our tank destroyers received a direct hit and began to burn. Its crew withdrew to the woods. 2d Lt. Murphy continued to direct artillery fire which killed large numbers of the advancing enemy infantry. With the enemy tanks abreast of his position, 2d Lt. Murphy climbed on the burning tank destroyer, which was in danger of blowing up at any moment, and employed its .50 caliber machinegun against the enemy. He was alone and exposed to German fire from 3 sides, but his deadly fire killed dozens of Germans and caused their infantry attack to waver. The enemy tanks, losing infantry support, began to fall back. For an hour the Germans tried every available weapon to eliminate 2d Lt. Murphy, but he continued to hold his position and wiped out a squad which was trying to creep up unnoticed on his right flank. Germans reached as close as 10 yards, only to be mowed down by his fire. He received a leg wound, but ignored it and continued the single-handed fight until his ammunition was exhausted. He then made his way to his company, refused medical attention, and organized the company in a counterattack which forced the Germans to withdraw. His directing of artillery fire wiped out many of the enemy; he killed or wounded about 50. 2d Lt. Murphy's indomitable courage and his refusal to give an inch of ground saved his company from possible encirclement and destruction, and enabled it to hold the woods which had been the enemy's objective."

Reginald Crane's moustache twitched, the only hint of the frown hiding beneath it, as he plucked a yellow envelope from the stack of intragency mail on his desk.

A training missive? For HIM? There must have been some sort of clerical error.

He flipped the envelope over to examine the address:

Mr. Reginald O. Crane, EOD

Hmph. He'd kindly asked HR to stop including his middle initial in official correspondence nearly a year ago...

Perhaps it's a joke, he thought as he neatly tore a strip from the edge of the envelope. It would be rather funny, he had to admit, if HR decided to send him something about his lapsed field agent certifications, given how often he was tagging along with Agent Phoenix these days. Perhaps he should recertify on the latest technology, just to be safe...

The trifold sheet he slipped from the envelope was surprisingly thick for a single sheet of paper, and textured besides. They didn't often use linen laid stationery these days, Crane thought. And... wait, had this been prepared on a manual typewriter? The uneven, slightly blueish shadow around the black ink letters, deeply embossed by the spring-lever keys that had struck them into the paper, was a nostalgic sight. The entire Agency had switched to electric machines more than a decade ago. He hadn't seen a manual since he'd left field operations for a handler's office.

Very peculiar, Crane thought to himself as he began to read:

To Mr. Reginald Crane, Master Field Agent Handler, EOD;

We hope this letter finds you well.

Our records indicate that you are eligible for participation in the Agency's Advanced Certificate Education (ACE) program. This two-week camp has been established to better cultivate the skills of our most accomplished operatives in a real-world challenge setting.

As a handler, you will be paired with an equally skilled agent to work cooperatively through a series of simulated missions, in conjunction with other agent-handler pairs, in the fully automated Victorium facility....

"Hey, Reggie, you got a minute?"

Agent Phoenix hovered in the doorway of Crane's office with a ripped-open yellow envelope in hand. He looked uncharacteristically nervous.

"I, uh, just got this from HR..." he began awkwardly, but stopped when he saw what Crane was reading.

"Wait, you too?"

"Yes," Crane nodded, "although I can't understand why. I'm up-to-date on all of my requirements..."

He did his best to suppress a cheeky grin as he glanced sideways at his fidgeting agent, knowing full well that Phoenix had been out of compliance for months now.

"Er, I might have let some of my certifications lapse," Phoenix winced, scanning the letter as if he half expected it to self-destruct if he read it too many times, "allegedly... but it's strange, it doesn't seem like the letter is about that."

On a whim, Crane held the letter up to the light streaming through his office window. The shadow of the genuine Agency watermark appeared in the middle of the page: an eye, it's spiral iris the unique livery of the Enhanced Operatives Division.

"Strange indeed," he agreed.

[phykios]

Hi phykios! I love you, your writing are so amazing. The Marble King is one of the best pieces on ao3, hands down. Really. One. Of. The. BEST. FICS. EVER. The worldbuilding, the dialogue, the history, the angst. SO. GOOD. Omg I die a happy death every time I read it (I have done so multiple times). Thank you for doing what you do!!!!!! If it is possible, may I ask for a bit of the shipwreck fellowship Thalassa story or the one where Sophia is born during (during?!) Percy's dissertation defense?

🥰 tysm anon!! marble king really does hold a special place in my heart and i'm glad ppl are still vibing with it

as requested, a bit of shipwreck hunting to whet the appetite 💖

Annabeth frowns. “That’s the embassy?” 

Percy nods. “Uh huh.” 

“But it’s so… nothing.” 

He shrugs, readjusting his backpack, gripping the strap before it slides off his shoulder onto the wet pavement. In his other hand is his eldest daughter’s, squeezing it tight as she twirls around, her sneakers making little whirlpools beneath her feet. “That’s what I thought.” 

Now, technically, it is a Tuesday, and Junie should have been in pre-k, wowing all her teachers and outperforming all the other kids by a mile. But, well… turns out the genes run a little bit deeper than just looks. The teacher had not been exactly sure how Junie had managed to flood the classroom via the little sink in the corner. But it seemed pretty clear that she had. She hadn’t been expelled, exactly. But it had been suggested she seek education and enrichment somewhere else. Honestly, Percy and Annabeth were a little charmed by it. Apples and trees and all of that. But they did worry that it heralded things to come. 

“I mean, there’s nothing,” Annabeth says again, craning her neck upwards. “No decoration, no sculpture… There’s nothing there!” 

“Nothing but pilasters.” 

She gags. 

“At least the one in Boston is next to the bar from Cheers.” 

She blinks at him, uncomprehending, and Percy makes a note to himself. 

“So how long do you think this will take?” she asks. 

“Dunno.”

“Because if it’s not that long we can just wait out here for you.” 

He shakes his head, kissing her on the cheek. “Don’t waste the rest of your lunch break on me.” Besides, his back itches in the way that means it’s probably going to rain soon. “I’ll pick up Lucie from my mom’s place, and I’ll have dinner ready by the time you get home.” 

Percy is long-since immune to the domesticity of such a statement. Or at least he thought he was, because the way Annabeth grins at him, leaning forward to capture his lips in a stronger kiss, makes him want to do a little jig with Junie, right here on the sidewalk. 

His daughter certainly seems to agree, if the way she spins faster is any indication. 

Annabeth slides her own bag off her shoulder, and pulls out a bulky file folder, handing it to him. “One last check?” 

“Hit me.” 

“Award letter?” 

“Check,” he says, thumbing through the pages. 

“Proof of insurance?” 

“Check.” 

“Background check?” 

“With fingerprints, and without allegations of underage terrorism.” 

That had been a fun and nerve-wracking experience, getting his fingerprints taken. He had been sweating bullets for a week, expecting his brief bout of monument-related arson to have the FBI kicking his door down. 

“Visa application?” 

“Plus immunization forms, birth certificate with apostille, and two hundred dollars cash.” 

“Passport?” 

He blinks. “I thought you had it.”

Annabeth snaps her gaze to him, eyes blazing. “Are you serious?”

“Kidding!” Reaching into the folder, he pulls out his shiny new passport, flapping it in the air. “Kidding.” 

She swats at him. “Seaweed brain…” 

“Sorry, sorry,” he laughs, kissing her again. “It’s all good, promise.” 

“Don’t be an idiot in front of the ambassadors, or whoever it is you meet in there, okay? Save your dumbassery for something less high-stakes.” 

Scoffing, he slips the passport back into the folder. “Excuse you, my dumbassery is only reserved for the lowest of low-stakes operations.” 

“Just go in and get your stupid visa.” 

Try as she might, her shortness is only undercut by the final kiss she leaves him with. “Love you, too.” 

Percy crouches down. “See you soon, Honey Dew,” he says, kissing her forehead. “Go have fun with mommy!” 

Junie’s only response is to kick water in his direction.

Yes, he stands and watches them leave, smothering a laugh, even as it begins to drizzle on him, until they turn the corner.

i just realized i never shared the Human DJMM's various stupid pieces of lore on here? Which is horrendous bc that's my main. thing? for him???

Originally his universe was going to be way darker since it had the themes of genetic modification but I decided against making it as dark as I originally had it, and so now he's an old man who was a product of very unethical genetic fuckery and I could focus on that storywise, but I have put the most thought into making him as weird and eccentric as possible. If he's old he's got stories to tell and by god does he have stories

Note: I may have posted about this before, but i cannot for the life of me find it, so if i did, you're reading this again BUT I have some new ones

born april first

he was born with one of his pairs of arms having feet instead of hands, and his feet were instead hands. and had to get them surgically switched.

went to clown college, was a professional clown for most of his life, and he has his certificate of completion AND his ceramic, registered clown Egg proudly displayed in his office

He is the reason why you legally cannot operate a crane drunk in the state of Utah

He got RABIES after getting attacked by a squirrel while he was operating a peanut stand. He is also one of the only people in history to survive rabies

In highschool he was in a heavy metal band and was the lead instrumentalist. The instrument in question? A whoopee cushion

His great grandmother is alive and evil, and she keeps coming to harass DJMM. She is 127 years old. Nobody knows how she's alive, but DJMM in particular wishes she wasn't.

He was formerly a news reporter but got fired because he faked and reported a government report detailing how aliens were already hiding among humanity on live television. He was pressured by the US government to renounce his statements, which he did, but he followed up with another hoax (supported by even more faked studies) where insects were making a coalition to retake the Earth. This hoax actually was successful.

His biggest idol is Nelson the Clown, who in 1845 who got pulled by 4 geese in a river and caused a bridge to fall down because of all the people who clamoured to see the spectacle. He recreated it in his era by constructing various removable extensions to his wheelchair that essentially turned it into a chariot so it could be powered by 4 emus. He rode it around times square

He is his universe's equivalent to the macro falco guy - He is unironically extremely attracted to Shrek and Fiona and has commissioned thousands of artworks and fanfics depicting and detailing a polyamorous relationship with them and his Shrek OC/Fursona: The itsy bitsy spider

He has a fix-it fanfic that includes said fursona that rewrites some of the Shrek universe that currently has 250k words

I think this is a 'digitally enhanced' version of the photograph I posted a few posts back.

She is ready for the jib to swing her gently out from the quay and then be lowered slowly into the deep water of the river, such that she is fully immersed for a period of five seconds only, to avoid any unexpected respiratory distress.

By specific arrangement, she shall then be lifted from the water to be re-immersed eleven more times at nominally five minute intervals, each immersion to last for fifteen seconds.

She's been looking forward to this experience for so long and has prepared so carefully!

The 'Ducking Stool' is an innovative device that was developed in medieval times to facilitate the public punishment - and humiliation - of errant women, such as prostitutes or women considered to be 'shrews' - a term used to describe women who were considered to be 'difficult' or 'contrary' - or proven (or thought to be) dishonest.

A man who had found his wife unfaithful might also sponsor such a punishment ... a reckoning!

In modern times, such punishment is not thought to be appropriate - or at least, only rarely. Of course, there are 're-enactments' here and there and the practice still has a 'specialist' following of those, especially women who enjoy its (quite obvious) sexual connotations.

The lady pictured has become an early - indeed pioneering - recreational follower of 'the stool' and we see her here on holiday in this remote and secret place. We can share her evident enjoyment of the situation she has painstakingly engineered for herself.

She knows she is completely safe 'in the hands' of the lesbian couple who own this mill. The equipment is fully serviced and she has been shown all the documentary certification of that. She is of course aware that equipment failure such as crane pulleys jamming or ropes breaking has had tragic consequences for some ladies in the past through death by drowning as it became impossible for them to be lifted quickly from the water. She has no wish for such a thing to happen to her and she feels every possible measure has been taken to minimise risk and assure her safety.

If we 'download' the photograph and 'expand' (enlarge) it to its maximum extent, we can observe the care she has taken in the preparation of her dress.

She wears a cotton 'seersucker' dress which is sufficiently 'sheer' (sufficiently translucent) for us to observe the lace trimmed petticoat she wears beneath, which is of course sufficiently long to fold down - so perfectly - well below her knees.

She considers herself to be properly petticoated.

The manner of her dress is - of course - most conservative - and she also chooses to wear a matching bonnet in 'a nod' to former times.

We can clearly see her smile ... as she reflects so contentedly ... and happily ... in her situation (some might say her 'feminine predicament') ... and looks forward in eager anticipation to the hour or so ahead! She sits back into the chair, so comfortably, her arms tied to the arms of the chair for her comfort and safety.

The woman taking this photograph, one of the couple owning and operating this facility returns across the low bridge (out of camera) and takes the controls of this - even then - electrically operated ... well, ... crane.

The lady pictured is then swung slowly away from 'quayside' to a position high over the water of this deep, slow flowing river.

She is free to remain there for at least a few minutes before she signals she is ready to be lowered by raising her left arm.

She finds it a wonderful thing, to sit so comfortably above the deep water into which she has chosen to shortly be completely immersed.

She feels the warm sunshine and moments of cool shade as the occasional breeze eases white clouds gently across the sky ... as gently as her dress rests over her petticoat, she reflects.

The chair ... the Ducking Stool ... sways slightly in this gentle, but fickle breeze ... she feels perfectly happy ... contented ... and so peaceful.

Everything is so quiet.

The time has come!

She raises her left arm.

Her smooth descent into the deep river water below commences.

She sighs with pleasure.

She watches her shoes near the surface.

Then ... so soon! ... she feels them fill with water!

Down she goes ... the water to her ankles now!

Then ... the hem of her dress ... then her pretty lace trimmed petticoat.

She feels how her dress starts to float so sensuously over her petticoat ... and as the water rises over her knees, she feels it flood her knickers ... she gasps with pleasure ... a pleasure which she recognises contains sexual elements!

Likewise, her brassiere - nestling so secretly beneath her petticoat - is likewise filled ... the gently rising water to her shoulders now ... she knows the water level is up to her neck and rising to her chin ... time to take a deep breath ... and close her eyes!

The river water invades her hair and bonnet with equal efficiency ... remorselessness - and as it does ... she disappears from view to take her first ducking.

After five seconds of pleasure and admittedly some disorientation she is lifted from the river. Water pours from her clothing and person and she loves how she can hear it splashing back in to river!

She's lifted back to the height from which she was first lowered in, some six feet above the water. She'll be lowered back in nominally five minutes, the lesbian couple keeping a strict eye on the time.

As she sits there, soaking wet, feeling the warm sunshine, her clothing feeling heavy and so turgid, her shoes still full of river water, her water laden bonnet feeling so deliciously cloying over her head ... the lady knows she really has experienced something quite wonderful: a complete ducking! In her clothes.

So soon ... her second - of twelve complete immersions - commences. Her shoes 'topped up' ... her knickers and bra refilled ... her bonnet too ... and - just as she had hoped - how perfectly sensuously her dress floated over her pretty petticoat.

Longer now, to enjoy her soaking. Long enough to feel the almost imperceptible current of the river ... flowing ... moving ... at wiil, it seemed ... through her clothes.

And then ... snoothly raised from the water.

Then, five minutes or so later ... her third ducking

For some reason ... or reasons ... she didn't fully understand ... she was quite astonished to realise that she was becoming sexually excited.

She just 'went with it' ... and experienced a stunning 'touchless' vaginal orgasm ... privately ... deep beneath the surface of the river.

Considering a career as a Wind Turbine Technician

If you're considering becoming a wind turbine technician, there are a few things you should know before jumping into this career path. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

Education and training: To become a wind turbine technician, you generally need a high school diploma or GED certificate and either technical school certification or an associate's degree in wind turbine technology [1]. You can also train on the job, but having some formal education and training can give you a leg up in the field.

Job outlook: According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of wind turbine technicians is projected to grow 44 percent from 2021 to 2031, much faster than the average for all occupations. About 1,900 openings for wind turbine technicians are projected each year, on average, over the decade [2]. This means that there will likely be plenty of job opportunities in the field.

Salary: Earnings for wind turbine technicians can vary depending on location, employer, and experience. According to the BLS, wind turbine technicians earned a median annual salary of more than $61,000 in 2022 6].

Job duties: Wind turbine technicians are responsible for performing routine maintenance, troubleshooting problems, and dealing with urgent issues on the three primary parts of a turbine - the tower, the blades, and the nacelle, composed of the generator, gearbox, and brakes [11]. The role can be physically demanding and may require working outdoors in harsh weather conditions [4].

Skills needed: Wind turbine technicians need to be able to identify and solve problems quickly and efficiently [5]. They should also be comfortable using hand and power tools, as well as computer equipment, to fix and maintain turbines [16]. Safety is also a critical aspect of the job, so wind turbine techs should be familiar with safety procedures and comfortable climbing up to 300 feet in the air [16].

Overall, the field of wind turbine technology offers promising job prospects and the opportunity to work in a hands-on environment that contributes to ecological health. It can be physically demanding, and you'll need to be comfortable working outdoors and at heights, but the rewards can be significant. If you're interested in pursuing this career path, be sure to research education and training options, as well as job opportunities in your area.

goooooooooood morning, have a fic preview of the five times sequel :3

Annabeth frowns. “That’s it?” 

Percy nods. “Uh huh.” 

“But it’s so… nothing.” 

He shrugs, sliding the diaper bag off his shoulder, gripping the strap before it slides onto the wet pavement. In his other hand is his eldest daughter’s, squeezing it tight as she twirls around, her sneakers making little whirlpools beneath her feet. “That’s what I thought.” 

“I mean, there’s nothing,” she says, craning her neck upwards. “No decoration, no sculpture… There’s nothing there!” 

“Nothing but pilasters.” 

She gags. 

“At least the one in Boston is next to the bar from Cheers.” 

She blinks at him, uncomprehending, and Percy makes a note to himself. 

“So how long do you think this will take?” she asks. 

“Dunno.”

“Because if it’s not that long we can just wait out here for you.” 

He shakes his head, kissing her on the cheek. “Don’t waste the rest of your lunch break on me.” Besides, his back itches in the way that means it’s probably going to rain soon. “I’ll pick up Lucie from my mom’s place, and I’ll have dinner ready by the time you get home.” 

Percy is long-since immune to the domesticity of such a statement. Or at least he thought he was, because the way Annabeth grins at him, leaning forward to capture his lips in a stronger kiss, makes him want to do a little jig with Junie, right here on the sidewalk. 

His daughter certainly seems to agree, if the way she spins faster is any indication. 

Annabeth slides her own bag off her shoulder, and pulls out a bulky file folder, handing it to him. “One last check?” 

“Hit me.” 

“Award letter?” 

“Check,” he says, thumbing through the pages. 

“Proof of insurance?” 

“Check.” 

“Background check?” 

“With fingerprints, and without allegations of underage terrorism.” 

That had been a fun and nerve-wracking experience, getting his fingerprints taken. He had been sweating bullets for a week, expecting his brief bout of monument-related arson to have the FBI kicking his door down. 

“Visa application?” 

“Plus immunization forms, birth certificate with apostille, and two hundred dollars cash.” 

“Passport?” 

He blinks. “I thought you had it.”

Annabeth snaps her gaze to him, eyes blazing. “Are you serious?”

“Kidding!” Reaching into the folder, he pulls out his shiny new passport, flapping it in the air. “Kidding.” 

She swats at him. “Seaweed brain…” 

“Sorry, sorry,” he laughs, kissing her again. “It’s all good, promise.” 

“Don’t be an idiot in front of the ambassadors, or whoever it is you meet in there, okay? Save your dumbassery for something less high-stakes.” 

Scoffing, he slips the passport back into the folder. “Excuse you, my dumbassery is only reserved for the lowest of low-stakes operations.” 

“Just go in and get your stupid visa.” 

Try as she might, her shortness is only undercut by the final kiss she leaves him with. “Love you, too.” 

“Can you say ‘bye’ to daddy, baby?” She asks their daughter, taking her hand. 

Junie’s only response is to kick water in his direction. 

Undeterred, Percy crouches down, smothering his laugh. “See you soon, Honey Dew,” he says, kissing her forehead. “Go have fun with mommy!”
