[That is so strange, he hates it actually, how warm and giddy that expression makes him feel. Has anyone ever looked at him like that? Fuck, it doesn't matter, has anyone that important looked at him that way?
Flambae had placed a lot of significance, definitely far too much significance, on his weird, largely imaginary rivalry with MechaMan, only to have so deeply misjudged whatever was going on under there. A part of his fervor during their """fated""" (re: finger-relieving) encounter had tied into that, a desire to see if he could really do it, if he could burn through the armor and catch a glimpse of the hero's face when he was afraid.
And yet here and now, he looks so different, he's happy and it's so much nicer to see him wear an expression that Flambae isn't entirely certain the man has sported in years, and he himself is the source of it-]
