His shoulders drop. His spine uncurls. When he realizes he's still holding onto Tezca, he gently releases him. And he thinks something like:
Hey, strange new world. Nice to meet you. ]
Okay. [ He glances back to Tezcatlipoca, meeting his now-mirrored gaze with a smile. ] I'm sure I'll want to wander around here more, but ... I can do that later.
