After speaking to Razim, Maya returned to Seth’s side and sat beside him, supporting her head on his chest and closing her eyes.
Razim never showed her face for the rest of the journey, while Water and Lust spent it casually chatting with one another.
A few days later, the water bubble around the group disappeared, and Razim manifested before them, “They’re close.”
Water and Lust returned to their hosts’ bodies while Seth and Maya opened their eyes and sat up, coming to stand next to Razim.
“Are you going to remain by my side?” asked Seth, his eyes staring forward unblinkingly.
“As annoying as you are, I can’t pick the loser’s side now, can I?” asked Razim back with a raised eyebrow.
“Do you have that much confidence in me?” asked Seth with a smile.
“Not really. I know how dumb those two are. Can you fight if things get heated?”
