Legato hated the heat.

It made him feel sluggish and slow, absolutely human.

He especially loathed the thick sheen of sweat that inevitably found its way onto his skin. It reminded him too much of his former life – sticky, clinging to him until he futilely tried to wipe it away, only for it to return just minutes later.

Occasionally, he would force himself to produce a gaudy cloth fan he once lifted from a victim. His oh-too-human response to the heat would never fail to produce a dismissive snort from Master.

Master never strained from the heat of the Suns.
