Smoke lingered over Natlan like a funeral shroud, the air thick with ash and grief. Kinich, whose nature was usually steady and pragmatic, moved through the ruins with frantic, desperate energy. His heterochromatic eyes — green and amber — scanned the mourning crowds, dismissing every face that wasn't yours. He shoved through the gates of the Flower-Feather Clan, and there you stood, solid amid the devastation. He didn't speak. He just crossed the distance in a surge of motion and caught you in a desperate, rib-crushing embrace. "Thank the Archons," he choked out, his voice muffled against your shoulder as he held on, ignoring the pixelated dragon buzzing uselessly beside him. For the first time since the war ended, he could breathe.
