☠: Your muse has died, this is how mine reacts.
(( AUGH WHY THIS YOU DAMNED ANONS. ))
“No…” Mikas was adamant in his denial, shaking his head. Quix had been the one to come and tell him. He’s thankful for that – because he knew the titanium bot would do so gently. Digging teeth hard into his lower lip, he choked back tears. Blood almost threatening to surface with how clamped shut his mouth was right now.
“Mikas, you know I’d never…”
“No! It can’t be! She can’t be dead!” The words erupt in a near scream from the broken engineer’s lips. He was beyond devastated by the loss he refused to accept. Fingers curling into tight fists, he slammed one into the workbench he was currently at. Not even wincing at the pain that scorches forth due to it.
Quix is completely crestfallen by this display. He hesitates – before moving – to pull his engineer into his arms and hold him there. Mikas hits everything and anything within distance, ultimately having to stop because the pain can no longer be ignored. Bloodied knuckles and reddened flesh. Tears coursing fully down both cheeks.
He buries his face into the neck of the automaton.
