I watch Maxon pace across his makeshift bedroom. The place is pretty sparse. A mattress on the floor. Gray concrete walls. A metal folding chair. Believe it or not, this is one of the nicer rooms in Zephyr’s old compound. Not a shocker, actually.
Two weeks have passed since we killed Zephyr, and we’re both still recovering. Right now, Maxon practices changing from elemental into human form. Half the time he hits one state or the other, he forgets to add clothes. I’m watching from the room’s only chair.
Needless to say, I’m enjoying myself immensely.
A knock sounds at the door. Maxon changes back into his elemental state. In this form, he wears gray body armor. His skin has a light gray tone as well, although his eyes have stayed a searing shade of blue.
A warm sense of affe
