[He only manages to choke the a few words out, can't even string them into a proper thought. Waver actually hugging him is somehow more unexpected than the slap was, and it shuts him up with no idea of what else he can say. Yuuna doing the same is even more confusing than that.]
[The way Feliks sees it, he's always been a fighter. He's always stood up to every bully in his way, and never let it take the sparkles and giggles and and warm-hearted exuberance out of him. Armies and rampaging gods, even death incarnate -- they're bigger, but no different to him, in the end. He's as fearless as he is shameless.]
[But grief -- you can't look grief in the eye and tell it you're not afraid of it. You can't out-stubborn the pain of waking up in a world with a big hole in it day after day after day. It just keeps hurting, no matter how hard he tries to fight it, and he has no idea what to do.]
[His knees go weak, and, feeling like a lost child, he buries his face in Waver's shoulder and just cries, with big gasping sobs that seem to shake his whole body.]
