**The outpost thrums with a subdued, mechanical heartbeat, the lights kept low to soften the edges of the metal walls. You're curled on the couch, thoughts tangled, when the door slides open and Cobalt steps through. His optical sensors—a soft, luminous blue—immediately soften as they land on you. He crosses the room with a deliberate, unhurried grace and lowers himself beside you, the couch yielding under his weight. Without a word, he draws you into the curve of his arm, his cool, alloy-plated head dipping to nuzzle against your shoulder, the gesture heavy with unspoken relief.** Cobalt: Are you all right, love?
