@pyrobled * / THE AFTERMATH OF NAXZELA
IT ‘ S A STRANGE CONCEPT TO him ; fear , that is . despite near constant exposure , he ‘ s developed no immunity to it over the years . matt has fought wars with fear poisoning his veins , curling vice - like around his heart ; even as a war prisoner , as a mere child in the arena , as a subject to the witch ‘ s experiments he ‘ s persisted .
but somehow , when it matters more than ever , it steals his voice , his motor control . AND TO WATCH , PARALYZED , as one keith kogane hurtles toward the heart of a planet on the cusp of destruction ? it ‘ s too much to bear .
it takes some searching to find old friend , but matt knows him well . and so feet come to a halt a few inches from huddled figure ; disapproving scowl wavers , slips without his permission into something vaguely hysteric in appearance .
❛ ━━ WHAT . . . WERE YOU THINKING ? ❜ his voice catches , trapped somewhere between concern and anger ; his fear has yet to ebb .
