[ One of Castor's own has risen to the challenge laid before them. The small one with more guts than sense.
Steve reaches out to him, as he turns his back on one of the more violent-hearted hosts. The one he's just shared his own depths with, willingly and willfully. The brush of Steve's mind conveys to him just enough - he's asking for something, assistance maybe. Ren has permitted him to walk away from it, and he hadn't really planned on returning to the scene of his small, wicked crime when there are others to attend to. And besides, Ren will do such a good job baring his teeth and striking fear into hearts.
He doesn't ignore the contact, though. He reaches back, the cold brush of the void snapped across Steve's warmth. ]
(I don't believe it wise to repress him. He seems to have had quite enough of that.)
[ And there, underneath it. The thread of power he's unwraveled and passed on to Steve's broodmember -- ]
