   Summary

   Venomshank and Zuka have always been in each other's orbits, in similar circles, doing similar things, but they've never truly known each other. Of course, after Zuka's retirement, things become a little easier, so Venomshank attempts to rekindle a friendship with an old acquaintance.

   And, as they speak to each other more, they beginning to realise there may be more to this relationship than just friendship, though are unsure if that sentiment is shared with the other. It doesn't help that there are old wounds between them.
