Iásōn moved slow and steady. There was nothing to suggest a threat, yet Maksim shifted in his seat despite himself. He was utterly enthralled when the man in white knelt before him. Despite being unable to see a face behind the mask, he felt as if he was peering straight into the stranger’s eyes. He accepted the hand without even thinking about it. Then something wonderful happened. A flush of pleasant warmth suffused his entire body. It made him gasp in sheer surprise. A moment later, every inch of pain faded as if it was never there, and a rush floated dreamily through his head.
When it was done, Maksim touched his own face with as much gentility as he had when he first explored his injuries. He found cheeks plump and soft. Then he pushed his hand across his brow, dislodging a pile of curls from where they were swept back. His hands tested the prior injuries along his chest, only to find them healed as well, and he ripped open the hospital shirt to look down at himself.
When he looked back to Iásōn, it was with dumbfounded awe, which he then shared with Sofia and Pavel. They rose to their feet, and Maksim broke into a big smile. He then grabbed Iásōn for a big bear hug and three kisses on the American man's masked cheek.
“Огромное спасибо. Вы спасли меня. Я этого никогда не забуду.” He said in the rolling syllables of his childhood tongue.
When he released Iásōn, it was to surrender him back to Sofia and Pavel as he hurried to a mirror to go look at himself.
*A huge thank you. You saved me. I’ll never forget this
