Harrison starts rubbing Syx’s back for comfort but he’s not sure how to respond.
God their relationship was complex!
While he’s certainly learned a lot about Megaminds and their Metro Mans over the last few years, he came to this planet alone. Until he moved to Metro City, he’d never met another alien much less grown up with one. And he’s certainly never spent a lifetime thinking of anyone as flawless. He looks to Wayne for answers, hoping his level-headed mate will know what to say…..
[By his definition, being able to get through invulnerability at all, however temporarily or lightly, implies a flaw. Clearly Syx doesn’t think so, but Syx also sounds lovesick, so it’s quite possible that the man’s view is skewed. it sounds like Syx sound be giving the other hero a diamond, not comparing the guy to one. It’s tempting to say just that, but it’s not really his place to play matchmaking for a couple he doesn’t know well.]
Oddly enough, my hair is safe from such evil ploys. But I suppose that just further proves the differences between your Metro Man and myself. [Shrugging he gestures to Syx’s abandoned food, including the untouched coffee-cocoa.] There is no use fretting over something that is not an issue and letting in ruin your appetite. But, if you would like information in case it becomes an issue, feel free to ask.
Looking back at the food, Syx nodded. He needed to eat. Hadn’t had nearly enough food while he’d been in prison and the quality of the meals was always horrible anyway. Eating rather mechanically, he paused after a bit to take up his drink. Chugging half of it quickly after he took a steadying breath.
“Well you definitely stand out now,” he offered, trying to get out of his own head, his own thoughts. They spiralled too much. Syx worried his bottom lip, picking up his fork again, he wasn’t even sure what to say anymore. His head spinning. Finally, he managed, “Though even clothed I wouldn’t mistake you for my Wayne. At least domestically. If I fight Metro Man any more I’ll… just have to be more careful about making sure I get the right one… not that… I think that will happen… anymore…”
There was hardly a point to the game now. His energy draining, he started eating again.
