[ Zane trains the camera on a small, pale blue flower. It is exquisite, for people who care about this kind of thing. Delicate and unique. A quiet spiral of petals.
He turns the camera back to himself. ]
If anyone hurts this flower, I will hurt you back.
[ He's going to start leaving it unlocked. THIS IS A HUGE RISK.
After a moment, he remembers...
Oh, right. He's a warden. ]
...gently.
[ He will only hurt you gently. This is probably a lie. ]
Don't hurt it.

[ Find Zane in the CES, with two loose rabbits, unleashed, in metal harnesses. He is climbing. He is running, faster than a human should run. He is flying. He is trying to remember freedom without killing.
Find him in the greenhouse, fussing over the flower, followed by a flock of dinosaur chickens.
If elsewhere, let me know, and we'll work something out. ]

It's one of those perfect kisses between lovers. Not the kind exchanged in dark balconies, sweet foreplays, or at weddings - not the sort that summon heart-pounding desire, that are meant to be seen as much as meant to be felt. This is for them, and they are a tangle of bodies and sweat and bruises, they are strained and mussed and uncomfortable, and the love is everything that matters. ]

I want to. I want - that, to help, to build. People, systems. Make them better. I always did.
[Please believe me, he doesn't say. Where did I go wrong, he doesn't quite think. I'm lost, he doesn't say, you don't need me anymore, he doesn't say, and I am a good enough man that I am sometimes glad of it.]

[ A kiss to the corner of Aslan's mouth, wet from both of them. To the side of his chin, the line of his jaw. ]
You're gifted at building. One of a kind.
[ He means it. Not one in a million, not one in a trillion, not one in a trillion trillion. Just one. ]
Even when I wanted to hate you I loved you.

I am so tired of feeling overwhelmed all the time.
[The words drift out on a venomless sigh. But his body is pliant, nestled into the warm arc of Zane's affections, his breaths lurching but deep, full. At ease in a way he rarely achieves lately, touched, profoundly grateful. He decides, with a feline sort of self-satisfaction, that he isn't going to apologize for thwarting Zane's desires in that particular matter.]
I love you so much. You make me - more myself. You find pieces of me I thought were lost.
