    Summary

    "It is, isn't it?" Fabian said, smiling proudly at himself in the mirror. Then he turned to her, smile dropping slightly and worry creasing his brow. "Do you like it, Cathilda? Do I look good?"

    Cathilda smiled at him, at the little kid she once helped take his first steps who was now almost fully grown. Of course he looked different now. Towering above her in height and with a face done up on make up that highlighted his one remaining eye. But he would always be that adorable child to her. "You look as lovely as the day we first met, Master Fabian."

    Summary

    “Good morning Aguefort Adventuring Academy!” Kristen crooned through the sound system, listening to the faint echo as her slightly staticy voice cut through the shoddy sound proofing of the AV room.

    Riz rolled his eyes from his seat beside her as she basked in it for a moment, but Adaine gave her another thumbs up as she listened through her headphones, letting her know the audio sounded ok.

    Summary

    Who was he to argue with facts? With Torse?

    Torse, the metal man with a wind-up heart, who was standing on the deck of his ship. Torse, who was still absolutely caked in gore and viscera from the shoulders down, and Maxwell, whose priorities just shifted so fast he nearly gave himself whiplash.

    Summary

    Torse’s shoulders are tense and pensive. His arm falls back to his side. Maxwell is not the most physical of people (besides in the ring), but his fingers twitch and stay where they are. Touching metal is different than the heat and pressure of skin.
    He swallows thickly. With his thumb resting on a weld line, all he can think to say is: “What does it feel like?”
    Torse pauses curiously. “What does what feel like?”
    “Your heart, when you change it. When you switch from gold to iron.”
    Torse turns his head down, towards where his heart’s softly glowing light illuminates Maxwell’s fingertips. He is quiet for some time. Then he meets his eyes again. “Like fire,” he decides.

    Summary

    “Have you considered that maybe you have, I don’t know, a crush?”

    “No, I’m not going to crush Julien, lethal force isn’t necessary yet—-wait. Come again?”

    “You know, maybe you like him—” he points to the television “—in that way.”

    Skipper’s laugh is louder than the TV. “Have a crush? On Ringtail? No. That’s—-no. It’s ridiculous. He’s controlling my mind. That’s the only logical explanation.”
