Ayalon's thoughts of Luan working out and bulking up from his drug-weight loss.

His chest clenches with pride, followed by a small curl of his lips whenever he sees Luan do something for himself. The God would never be too familiar with a mortal's limitations— they were just too different, an eternal reminder that his expectations need to be softer. Regardless, he'd help. Pestering Luan with his company whenever the mutant felt the urge to go for a run or lift weights at the gym. Ayalon himself needn't do any of it, always standing a little bit awkwardly whenever he feigned lifting the 50lbs dumbbell.

The God felt as if he cheating. 50lbs weighed less than a bag of air.

But his entertainment solely came from people watching, and more importantly, aiding Luan in his endeavors. He'd kiss him on the temple, despite the sweat that built up there, whisper into his ear how good he was doing, and just how proud Ayalon was to see him do something for his own satisfaction. Although he needed to remind himself of the difference between he and Luan's strength, Ayalon knew quite well how important this decision was. He's mindful of compliments, after all, Luan's been beautiful from the start. Funny that his sensitivity was put more into a person's feelings rather than what the human body could and couldn't do.

" You look good, Luan. "

" You're doing so well. It's paying off. "

Luan has been beautiful from the start. The God would remind him of that if he ever needed it. But Ayalon prefers him this way, healthy, pushing his boundaries and focusing his attention to better alternatives. He refrains from mentioning the drugs ( unless, Luan were to bring it up first ), he doesn't make comparisons between how Luan looked previously to how he is now. Ayalon knows how easily progress can be broken, and he'd have no hand in tearing it apart. But he'd be there to brush off scuffed knees if Luan were to ever tumble on his journey to sobriety.
