A Beecher in his original habitat was insignificant; per contra, a Beecher in Oz was unpredictable, crazy. A Keller in any habitat was sensual power about to unleash.

Toby watched Keller sleep, a devouring lust flushing his skin. What would it have been like if they had met in a habitat without walls, a place where he could indulge this addiction 24/7?  He knelt by the bunk, his mouth descending on the exposed skin of Keller's stomach, teeth marking the warm surface. A hand wrapped its way into his hair.

A Keller was always aware and eager to greet lust.
