How do you kiss something without a solid form, ever changing? Not entirely sure, but he's trying. Soft peek on what counts as a cheek, maybe. Maybe. Hopefully?

𝙰𝙽𝙳 𝚂𝙾, 𝙸𝚃 𝙳𝙾𝙴𝚂 𝚆𝙷𝙰𝚃 𝙸𝚃 𝙷𝙰𝙳𝙽’𝚃 𝙳𝙾𝙽𝙴 𝙱𝙴𝙵𝙾𝚁𝙴... sure of the answer his swarm is meant to reach, the creature acts without a sort of consensus. moving forth and pressing the maw of its mass along cheek and jawline, though no lips were to be seen, the nanites make quick work of flooding o’er his skin and adoring every portion he could. the feeling of thousands of lips upon him, overlapping, timid, before it draws back. the way their eyes meet, it inquires without uttering a word between their connection : 𝚆𝙰𝚂 𝚃𝙷𝙰𝚃 𝙰𝙻𝚁𝙸𝙶𝙷𝚃?
𝙸𝚃 𝙷𝙰𝚂 𝚂𝙴𝙴𝙽 𝙻𝙾𝚅𝙴𝚁’𝚂 𝙱𝙴𝙵𝙾𝚁𝙴... those young, dumb kind. who scorched a trail up the mountain to be alone, hand in hand, kiss and bathe in the warmth of the light and heat upon his rocks and mounds of grassy plains curled ‘round his form. he’s seen the look in their eyes, the adulation there, and he has never known anything like it. being feared, being worshipped, leaves little room for such a love. something coveted, far beyond the love of any god or devil. he wanders into those eyes as he leans in, if he could catch a glimpse of something like that. if he ever could have earned such a right in all their time bound together, tangled tethers fought fiercely for a time. fore common ground was found and they employed ways to match each other’s oppositions with some kind of gentle understanding.

𝙰𝙽𝙳 𝚃𝙷𝙴𝚁𝙴 𝙸𝚃 𝚆𝙰𝚂, his hunger come to fruition in a way. sated, for the time being as the great beams of metal screech upon the weight and ferocity of the ants gnawing upon its long limbs. screeching and crashing, down, down. the howl of the man made gods in the air, the fear of those within, it was drinking it in.
𝚂𝙾 𝚂𝚆𝙸𝙵𝚃𝙻𝚈 𝙲𝙰𝙼𝙴 𝙰 𝚅𝙾𝙸𝙲𝙴, something different. a man he had not witnessed before. and who was this? an unsuspecting creature who came to tear their kingdom down?... or sent to slay a god? it watches with bated breath for what the blond would do, floating there before him as the greed builds a pyre for Murkoff. one thought flickering throughout the swarm’s mind as eyeless gaze peers into Leon. its question comes like a sharpened pain, cutting through grey matter and sinking, seeping, deep within. more commandment than inquiry in tone alone.
