( marc watches. there's a moment where his eyes grow wide in shock and surprise, then narrow abruptly in preparation as set moves, his hands, fingers stretching across the sides of the mask and marc seems to anticipate it — or something — coming his way. his hands curl into fists and he shifts his weight, and—
the mask is gone. set changes into a man of sorts, a far cry from the shapes and forms khonshu prefers. a pleasant appearance in contrast with the tone of his words, the anger and the energy, all of it all at once familiar to marc because it's the same frustrated venom khonshu throws his way when marc disagrees, when marc questions, when marc ignores. when marc doesn't understand.
it crescendos into words marc has no translation for, words that khonshu has never vocalised and marc can only guess at their meaning from the way that they're said until the end, until the questions.
where is he, set asks, and marc doesn't have an answer. he hadn't expected the question and yet, he thinks, if set is asking the question, surely it means that their worlds cannot have been destroyed? or— no, fuck, maybe? the overvoid is beyond time and space and marc's not sure if khonshu's ever really, truly been on earth. he's been with marc, but that's not the same thing.
marc, despite the strength of his convictions, despite the depth of his belief, is not a man that understands.
I don't know is the answer that marc thinks, but it's not the answer marc gives. ) A spaceship, the last I saw him.
