Kay spotted him and his expression faltered, first to relief, then irritation again as his brain registered that it wasn't Asher but Ethan. And his look of worry did NOT help matters. Kay's eyes narrowed. He knew what the guy was thinking, he was comparing him to that psychopath again wasn't he? He stopped walking, closed his eyes and took several long, deep breaths. It was fine, he wasn't Kaylr, he wasn't a monster, he could control this.
He bit down on his lip hard.

Star chuckled "Thanks. Did Moone make it back ok with the other two?"

"Yeah, the babies are with Ellie in the playroom," Vestia said.

~~

Ethan watched Kay warily. To get out to the city, he'd have to go past this guy who looked... seriously less than stable right now. He could go back, not leave the ship, just return to his room or the library, but that would involve turning his back on this guy to walk away from him, which all his instincts screamed at him not to ever, ever do.

He tried to focus on the differences. Kay was trying to keep calm, which Kaylr wouldn't do. This Kay wasn't Kaylr, after all, he'd never shown any sadistic tendencies, right?

So it was safe to go past him. Safe to continue on with his day uninterrupted. Or safe to go back.

So why was his body so reluctant to move?

Thanks" Starr said then headed for the playroom so she could check on the sleepy heads.

Vela and Kerr were both still snuggled up, though they were starting to wake up now.

Ellie was lazily petting Vela and Kerr, half asleep herself. "Hey Starr, hey Danny," she said, smiling at them.

Kay opened his eyes again. Ethan still looked scared, which both angered and horrified him. His expression softened slightly, he shook his head and took a few steps forward, watching Ethan's fearful face and feeling increasingly guilty and horrified by his own lack of control. The disgust he felt with himself rapidly turned to anger again, anger at his stupid disease, at his lack of control, at this helpless feeling of wildly fluctuating emotions.

"Hello" Starr said with a chuckle, kneeling down to gather up the two as they came over to her calling "Mom, mom"

"Ellie" Danika chirped happily. "We fly, we fly" She was still excited

"You FLEW? Awesome!" Ellie said happily. "Did you make Starr do barrel rolls?"

~~

Ethan was momentarily relieved as Kay showed some sign of humanity, then he remembered the times Kaylr had deceived him and Dr. Heinz into thinking Kaylr wasn't a sadistic monster, and his distrust returned. Yeah, this guy had never shown signs of being cruel, but then, Kaylr had done a good job acting normal at first too. He'd seemed so kind, so sensible, like maybe he actually was one of those rare good masters. And then...

Ethan tried to force that train of thought to a standstill. He needed to be sensible right now, calm, focused on the present so that those memories couldn't start crawling into his thoughts. And he needed to get out of here. Right now.

He couldn't turn his back on Kay, not when he was this close, anyway. He'd back away, and then turn tail and run. He took a step back, still watching Kay warily.

Kay stopped. This was ridiculous, and frustrating. He reached for his tablet which was tucked into a holder at his belt, near his gun... and the first aid kit.

Ethan watched Kay reach for something. His first horrifying thought was he's going to shoot me. But it didn't make sense, there was no reason to shoot him, right? He forced himself to calm down. Again.
Kay was go for the tablet, right? Kay was mute. He needed that thing to communicate. Stop freaking out, Ethan, this isn't as bad as you keep imagining.

That question made Danika stop and tilted her head "bere all roll?"

Starr chuckled softly, going over to sit so she could hold the babies. "No tricks, just straight flying here."

"You know, where you roll over in the air," Ellie said helpfully. She lay down on the floor and rolled over. "Like that, only not on the ground," she explained, tone as sincere as if she was imparting great life wisdom on these hatchlings.

Kay winced as Ethan yet again looked terrified and took out the tablet, holding it up and booting it up.

[Stop it.] He managed to write. [I'm not going to hurt you.] He certainly looked like he wanted to though, or anything and anyone in general. His teeth were clenched and typing took an awful lot more concentration than usual. He held the tablet up so Ethan could read it.

Ellie giggled. "Get Starr to do it in the sky for you next time!"

~~

Ethan winced, then looked annoyed. "If I could stop it, I would. Do you think I want to be terrified of you?" he asked. He was trying to get himself to act like a normal person, damn it. It wasn't easy to do right now though!

Kay's jaw clenched harder. His expression flashed from anger to desperation. [I'm not in control right now. I need to get to my room without hurting anyone.] He was struggling, not sure whether he wanted to punch something, throw the damn tablet AT Ethan or just burst into tears. Damn full moon, why'd it have to make things so humiliatingly difficult?

"I noticed," Ethan said, trying very hard to not let how worrying these mood switches were to him show. He tried to reach a solution to this. Finally he moved aside as far as he could in the corridor so Kay could get past. "Go on, get to your room." This was a diplomatic solution, right? He could avoid turning his back on Kay, and Kay could get the hell out of his day as fast as possible.

~~
"Gotta fill the kids' heads with good ideas," Ellie told Starr. "Makes them stay young longer."

Kay nodded jerkily and approached at a more normal speed, still biting down on his lip and clutching his tablet very very tightly like some sort of lifeline.

Ethan stayed very still and focused as hard as he could on the tablet in Kay's hands, because it was something he didn't associate with Kaylr. Besides which, it was the most likely thing Kay would hit him in the face with when--if--he lost his temper.

This hall wasn't super narrow, but it sure felt narrow right now. Ethan liked a good ten feet of space between him and Kay at all times. "Hurry up, would you?" he told Kay in the least panicked tone he could manage. This proximity was not at all okay on the best of days, and it was really stressful right now.

~~
"Not long enough," Ellie said. Even though she'd probably only live eighty or ninety, the babies should be babies foreverrrr.

Kay continued to glare up at Ethan, he was only a few paces away now, looking more and more about to throw that tablet by the minute. He took one step closer, then another till he was right in front of Ethan. Damnit Ethan, why? just.. why?

Ethan was fighting his instincts as hard as he could. The instinct to panic and mutter apologies until Kaylr saw fit to leave him alone, and the even more horrible instinct to throw off the panic and embrace his rage and beat the life out of the demon that had done so many things to him. He was conflicted right now, and one of the two was going to take over completely if Kay didn't leave his sight right now.
"Go," he told Kay. "Now."

Kay looked pained. He hated what his mirror self had been, the idea he could ever be that level of monster was just horrific.
He looked up at Ethan, tears welling in his eyes, nodded and stepped away from him.

[I'm so sorry.] He managed to write, stepping sort of sideways and backwards to get around Ethan without turning his back. He wasn't sure why, it just didn't feel right to turn his back on him.
Thing was, the fear on Ethan's face was actually pulling Kay out of his rage at the universe and throwing him more into a state of self loathing and disgust. His anger turned inward, and he continued to back away, nodding his head over and over in an apologetic gesture.

No, he wasn't Kaylr, but that didn't mean his anger didn't sometimes scare him too. Seeing the man who looked so much like the man he loved look at him with such fear and disgust was almost too much to bear.

Once he'd put enough distance between himself and Ethan, he turned and hurried down the hallway toward his room, hoping nobody else would get in his way. He was in no state to deal with anyone else right now.
