Johnny, on the balcony

This is a sort-of drabble without a prompt. It's a piece of writing that may or may not make it's way into an upcoming story post, but I'm feeling excited about actually writing and so I felt like sharing it now. If you'd rather not know, it is a bit of a spoiler, but it covers some of the same ground as the previous JRO chapter. All that's new is a little glimpse of the scene between Johnny and Ripp that wasn't shown because Phi had stepped out to give them a moment.

Interested? I'd love a little feedback/speculation to help me get back in the writing groove.
