Feeling pretty alive. [ Everything had been hot, in the end. Searing and overwhelming - the old man had lied, it had hurt, and yet he's still glad he was the one to go through it - and yet, the one thing that had really stood out in the end had been the warmth that had been shared between the two of them. Knox had never looked twice at the other guys around him, hadn't even considered them before Syd had kissed him.

And then he'd kissed Syd, and that was right. He'd waved it off, sure, but it was still right, somehow. ]

Nah, not yet. Figured she could wait, and it'd be payback for her pretending to be dead. [ Yeah, he's still sour about that. But it's not like anyone can really blame him, considering how that'd kickstarted all of this. Not that any of them really regret it, now, but Knox figures fair is fair.

Green eyes flicking up Syd's body once, twice, and then he uncrosses his arms and sways his body forwards. His hand comes up to touch behind his own ear, mirroring Syd even as he walks towards his proxy. They're two pieces to a whole, now, more than they ever were.

He stops in front of him, dropping his hand, grin softening around the edges. ]
