Summary
After the crew lands in Zumhara and the Wind Riders have headed into the city, Torse goes in search of somewhere he can process everything, away from prying eyes. He does not process very well, but he's trying.
Maxwell experiences a perfectly justifiable level of mortal terror when he returns to find his friend missing, and overt declarations of lifelong devotion after 2 weeks of knowing each other is actually kind of a slow burn for Zood, okay?
----
“Why would she...? Oh.” Maxwell stiffens, then blows out a breath. He reaches past Torse’s mantle to clasp his neck, tucks them firmly together, and rhythmically brushes thumb across his vulnerable nape. “Oh, Torse.”His friend’s comfort breaks the dam. “What drove her to save me, when she was comfortable condemning so many to destruction? What had she found worthy of salvation within me that she deemed the rest of my homeworld to be lacking? Why am I not taken apart in the Amphereon, or walking as one of the Naughtomata, or lining the throat of that vile beast?”
Maxwell goes rigid.

Summary
“Yes, Zood will be facilitating the treaties themselves,” answered Longspot, “But if we were to wait until the treaties were over to have a working relationship with Zern, then we would lose out on many innovations and insights from them. We need to ensure your grandfather’s legacy. The quickest legal connection we could make that would allow us to have the necessary relationship would be for you to marry a prominent figure from Zern”.
Maxwell’s mind stalled. “I need to marry someone from Zern? Aren’t they primarily Automata?”
Longspot squeezed Maxwell’s shoulder. “Maxwell. It would only be until we have a signed treaty, at which point you can annul the marriage and marry a proper girl from Gath. I can’t ask any of your older brothers to do this, Maxwell. Only you understand how important Gath’s relations with Zood and Zern were to your grandfather”.

Summary
“Maxwell,” says Torse, voice lower than normal, rougher. “You are awake.”
Monty had given Maxwell something for the pain earlier, and it had had the rather awful side effect of knocking him out for a few… hours? Days? He wasn’t sure.
“I am,” Maxwell says, throat hoarse from disuse. His side hurts. Tender arcs of sensation, radiating out from the wound below his ribs, from where he’d taken that hit. Stupid, really, to have thrown himself in front of a goddamn metal man like that. Torse was infinitely more likely to survive than him.
And yet… he’d never have done anything else.

Summary
They are closer than they have ever been to finding Comfrey McLeod.
The Ectic Research is abandoned by the time they arrive, but only very recently. The footprints are still fresh, the documents strewn carelessly about, the booby traps still untriggered. Comfrey and Mordecestershire are chasing each other, or perhaps both chasing the same thing separately, with the crew of the Zephyr always a beat behind. Their next destination will take them to the bottom of the sea, and for that they need a submersible.
Fortunately, they know exactly where to get one. Unfortunately, it is all the way in Oda.
“Two weeks!?” Maxwell exclaims.
“Two weeks,” Van replies. “Marya just triple checked the math.”
Maxwell feels a blood vessel about to burst on the inside of his skull. A two week pause after five days of nonstop chase makes Maxwell want to pitch himself off the side of the Zephyr. His hands twitch under his gloves.

Canon divergence! Everything is the same, except they can't fast travel to Oda! Maxwell and Torse have two weeks of ship confinement to figure out their feelings for each other!Bookmarked by Iron7King

Summary
After the end of their adventure, Torse had a duty to stay behind and help rebuild Zern to its former glory while Maxwell needed to return to Gath. Max swore to return once Comfrey had managed to find a way to control what time they could return to, but there was no telling how long that would take. Or if it was even possible. The risk of being sent to the far past or future was too great to return unless it was certain. There wasn't much Maxwell could do when the weeks apart stretched into months and, soon enough, years.
