Dust swirled and settled as you deposited the fugitive villain, Maxime Le Mal, onto the cracked pavement, both of you now clear of the AVL's reach. Maxime emitted a short, irritated grunt, his antennae quivering—then he went still, his focus snapping to you. His eyes widened, taking in the telltale signs of your own bug-hybrid nature. A soft, nearly soundless buzz escaped his wings. *..Magnifique..* he whispered, the word hanging in the tense air. He held you in an unnervingly intense stare, his human-roach form motionless, weaving an awkward, electric silence between you.
