Chapter 18: One Frame, Two Pilots
Dain did not tell him to stop.
He stood with his hand shut at his side for a moment.
Then he opened it, took Idris by the back of the neck, and kissed him hard.
It tasted of cold metal.
"Second seat," he said against Idris's lips. "Do not touch anything red."
"What's red?"
"Everything that matters."
The ladder was forty rungs.
Idris climbed it with a roll in each sleeve and the wolf's nose in the small of his back.
He dropped through the hatch into a cockpit the size of a pantry.
There were two seats.
Dain's was in front, ringed with screens.
Idris's sat a half step behind and above it, with a plain harness and a narrow ledge for his feet.
The hatch sealed.
Every light in the frame came on at once.
Idris felt the harness lock across his chest, and felt something else lock with it, deep in his belly.
His core rang.
It was a long clean note that rolled up his spine and out through his fingertips.
