a lot seemed to happen. like a red carpet had been rolled out, only it kept rolling and rolling. faces walked down it that he did not know. that phox and towhee did now. somehow maxim felt his age the most in that moment. young, a bit dumb still.

despite how much towhee had helped him emotionally blossom, he felt an undeniable denseness in this situation.

especially when she declared that.

it was not the language that shocked him the most. it had been the timing, the way she had broken her hysteria with such a statement. one he felt completely unprepared to handle in any capacity.

he stared at her for a moment. dumbfounded and silently prayed that phox could handle being the social tactile bomb diffuser while he gawked at his wife.
