Predatory & Touched (The Magicians - Quentin/Eliot)
The monster wearing Eliot´s face is maybe the cruelest joke yet.
Quentin thinks he will forever be haunted by its predatory stance and aura.
Even if they get Eliot back, he sometimes fears he won´t be able to see him the same way.
Then he remembers that´s the dark cloud talking. That´s not real. It´s just his asshole brain.
He remembers Eliot. He remembers them. He remembers a whole other life.
All the times they talked, they laughed, touched, in this life and that one. Then there´s no doubt in his mind anymore, that Eliot´s untouched, is his Eliot still.
