It was a strangely chaste way to end their conversation, but after the kiss, Ferro expressed a desire to get back to the others. Kir hadn't meant to play the therapist, but Ferro had needed it, just as he now seemed to want the sense of connection that lay with understanding the constellation he was now a part of.
Well, Kir presumed Ferro wanted to be a part of it from the emotions he could feel emanating from the catkin. It wasn't so much a sense of lust or loneliness as it was a sense of shared... something. Kir couldn't quite put his finger on it, but as soon as he returned with Ferro to the others, he could feel the emotion threading from Ferro through Malzkael and then the others.
The sight that greeted Kir, however, was quite different from when he'd left it.
