    Summary

    Torse had only been gone for a few days, which maybe wasn't long enough to warrant a very desperate, drawn-out reunion — but in very short order, Maxwell felt the fires of desire take hold of him, deep down in gut. He immediately stopped caring about what they "should" be feeling and started clawing hungrily at Torse's frame, which was still hot from overexertion.

    It seemed that Torse agreed. His hands wrapped around Maxwell's waist, and suddenly, Torse was lifting him out of bed.

    “Woah!”

    Summary

    After the crew lands in Zumhara and the Wind Riders have headed into the city, Torse goes in search of somewhere he can process everything, away from prying eyes. He does not process very well, but he's trying.

    Maxwell experiences a perfectly justifiable level of mortal terror when he returns to find his friend missing, and overt declarations of lifelong devotion after 2 weeks of knowing each other is actually kind of a slow burn for Zood, okay?
    ----
    “Why would she...? Oh.” Maxwell stiffens, then blows out a breath. He reaches past Torse’s mantle to clasp his neck, tucks them firmly together, and rhythmically brushes thumb across his vulnerable nape. “Oh, Torse.”

    His friend’s comfort breaks the dam. “What drove her to save me, when she was comfortable condemning so many to destruction? What had she found worthy of salvation within me that she deemed the rest of my homeworld to be lacking? Why am I not taken apart in the Amphereon, or walking as one of the Naughtomata, or lining the throat of that vile beast?”

    Maxwell goes rigid.

    Summary

    It is strange, Maxwell decides, to be so certain he’s being stared at by a creature that has no discernable eyes. Torse has no pupils or irises to flit his way and away again, no lids to blink, no lashes to lower, and yet every time Maxwell has turned to let his own gaze fall on the automaton, he is certain the orange-red glow beneath Torse’s visor has been fixed on him, steadily watching.
