Together

Xephos himself was always coming and going, though Strife was never entirely sure where he went. He’d occasionally take Strife for walks around the area, showing him the beauties of this weird and wonderful world that he’d made his home. Sometimes, he would take Honeydew with him, and when they returned, Xephos would often be closed off and easily agitated, snapping at anything. Diamond eyes tinted red and a nasty scowl on his face.

(In which Strife realises how much Xephos has changed, and isn't so keen on it. They later talk about where they stand now relationship wise.)
