Tutor and Yim smile at each other.
With those two clinging Ships by their side, they have their work cut out for them.
Zee and NuNew are still discreet with their touching, but Max and Nat always take it to the extreme.
Their mutual gravitation never seems to take a break.
Hands, shoulders, knees.
There must be constant touching.
Even when they are talking to others or simply busy.
Even if there is a local distance to each other.
They simply attract each other magnetically.
Only to then briefly touch at least some textile of the other.
Nat is currently playing with the hem of Max T'Shirt, while he stands with his back to him and watches Tutor preparing the cocktails.
Yim and Nat stand in front of the pool bar admiring Tutor's dexterity.
Tutor's cat eyes are focused.
Grating mint.
Squeeze lime.
Shake colored liquors and sugar beet syrup with ice.
Blend, stir, taste.
Yim's flushed cheeks show his smile as he watches his partner bartend.
Max stands behind Nat, chatting with Zee and NuNew.
Nat's delicate hand at the bottom of his T'shirt points him in the direction of his caressing hand.
"Let's unpack first after drinks and jump in the pool!", Zee decides, "Then we'll take a walk on the beach and meet back up for today's challenge!"
"Yes, Dad!" grins NuNew.
"Have you been appointed leader here?" asks Max pointedly.
"You're welcome to be my leader, Zee. I'll follow you!", Nat interjects, smiling at his Pi Zee. He's always been there for him, and he counts him as the big brother he looks up to.
Zee is good-natured, empathetic and lovingly wise.
He can be counted on.
Zee walks a step toward Nat and puts his hand on his head.
And Max's reflexes show their reaction again.
He pushes Zee's hand off Nat's head and gives Nat a serious look.
"I'm serious about this. Pi Zee is a good leader. We can trust him!", Nat triggers even higher flames in Max.
Zee grins and squints over at NuNew.
"Leader Zee just keeps an eye on everyone and pays attention to them," NuNew explains ambiguously.
There's always more to him than that.
Zee then always doesn't really know whether he wants to send him a message.
And NuNew puts his hand on Max's shoulder.
"You're a big Pi too, Max! But your eyes are always on Nat," he gives Max a smile.
Max barely noticeably flinches at the touch on his shoulder from someone else.
By anyone else.
He can't be touched by anyone other than Nat.
Just as Nat can't be touched by anyone else.
