Kage: *it will be a very long ten minutes before he finally lifts a hand to rest of Maru's back. His engine will purr to life. But it will take a long time.*

Maru: *he'll be fine, he'll be fine, he just needs to rest and reboot, he'll be fine, give him time – the mantra plays over and over in his mind as he softly rocks his brother's body, oblivious to how much time is passing*

*The rest of the team is watching and grieving.  Deckard is /just/ about to stir and drag himself over to Maru to gently try to get him to face reality...when he sees Kage's hand twitch and move*

Maru: *stressed engine /sputters/ at the touch, stops and looks down as Kage's engine begins to purr . . . /buzztrill/ as he HUGS his brother to him - softly*  Kagerou . . . Kagerou, can you hear me?
