Deimos The last battle had provided more aches and pains than the previous; his body kept him attuned and aware in the aftermath. Burns wrapped over portions of the skin on his legs and arms, and though he wouldn’t show the aches and pains through careful, orchestrated, and long, sweeping movements, they were a stark reminder of other days – of war, of times before strength, fortitude, and might. Sharing Erebos with Evie while she socialized on the beach, the youth was strapped to his chest in one of the many slings he’d created, briefly awakened from his nap by the Sword’s movements. Luckily, the infirmary tent wasn’t too far away, and he seemed lulled by the sound of the waves pressing or crowds buzzing from recent altercations, head bobbing above the hardy cloth. When Deimos wasn't distracted by necessities, he'd have to ask Hotaru later about other motions. But as he looked up towards the portable shelter, he recognized the fellow monster hunter nearby – and grimaced inwardly, wondering if Fox had been looking for him, and for how long. He hadn’t much of a lull between the two, so perhaps some of that could be forgiven. “Fox,” his vocals rumbled as he closed in, gesturing with a smaller wave as his arm stung. “How were your travels?” Out of sight and out of mind Make everything alright So let the sky and sea collide Just not in our lifetime |

There's no need for Deimos to grimace - Fox has been busy by the infirmary tent himself since he arrived, given the fact that travelling by skyship still gives him horrific motion sickness. Luckily he's not looking quite so green now, and he's been able to watch and observe some of the other fights taking place (the Sword's included, and that's not intimidating at all).
"Deimos," he greets, rising to his feet from the upturned crate he's been seated upon, offering a wave in return and running his fingers through his dark hair. "They were as good as can be expected. I don't travel too well," he explains with a boyish sort of laugh. He can laugh now that it's over, and he's not expected to go back on the ship any time soon. "Ah, this must be your son?" Smiling at the bundle strapped to the Sword's chest, Fox wonders if it would be appropriate to mention that it doesn't make Deimos seem any less daunting for it. "Congratulations on your fights as well, by the way." astra inclinant, sed non obligant

Glancing within the tent to the blonde medic as she waves in response, Fox is soon distracted by Deimos again - and the blue-eyed bundle staring back at him. "Chip off the old block," he remarks with a grin, forcing himself to relax by degrees. "And most forms, unfortunately. Walking and on horseback I'm alright, and if I'm at the front of a cart. But anything else is... not pretty." It had been a nasty shock after being Ascended for so long where, of course, he didn't have to worry about such things.
The fights might not have been easy but Deimos had absolutely earned his victories, and Fox is about to say as much before the Sword gets to the root of the matter, and the hunter's mouth grows quite dry. "I did, yes. And I swear I'm normally not such a mess, despite how I might look." As if that would earn him points. Still, he finds his resolve, draws himself up, and goes for it. "As you know, Kiada and I have been together for a while now, and I hope you can believe me when I say I don't think I have ever been happier." His smile is bashful and directed at the sands. "You didn't know me before I was an Ancient - before Kia, truthfully - but she's made me a better man than I ever was." Glancing back up at Deimos, Fox pats his pocket where, unbeknownst to the Sword, a small engagement ring sits safe and sound. "I don't see myself being with anyone else. She's the only future I want, and I'd like to make it official - but not without your blessing. I wasn't able to ask her mother... but I can ask you." astra inclinant, sed non obligant

"I haven't really looked, if I'm honest. I just... decided not to travel unless I had to." Fox laughs, rubbing at the back of his head. A clever idea, if it weren't for the amount of travel he seems to be doing lately regardless of necessity. Still, he's not privy to the harpy's plans, and he's more interested in the conversation to come, besides.
Deimos's silence is almost to be expected as Fox lays it all on the line, the hunter fighting not to let his gaze drop away from the Sword despite the nerves that flutter in his gut (a sensation not unlike travel sickness, but luckily without the unsavoury consequences). Still, the nothing seems to draw on indefinitely in the wake of his confession, and Fox is just about to speak again to break that awkward silence when, finally, Deimos speaks. And gods, he doesn't realise he's been holding his breath this whole time until he does. "Really?" He laughs breathlessly. "Gods, that's good news." And not just because he's already accidentally already asked Kiada, and she's already said yes. "Thank you. We're both in agreement there - we just want her to be happy." Smiling to the other man and at least seeming more confident if only in relief, he reaches into his pocket to draw out the ring - a simple solitaire diamond in white gold. "This was my mother's," he explains. "It isn't much, but I hope she likes it." astra inclinant, sed non obligant

"It would be nice," Fox agrees with a small and lopsided smile; to go to different places without spending the majority of the time hurling over the side of a cart or a ship. He hasn't even considered that Kiada might also have a desire to travel - between her council duties and his monster hunting, their life has grown small and comfortable after the turbulence of the war. And he likes it, as is evident by, you know, the marriage proposal.
Deimos's grin is contagious, Fox finally able to see the Sword as another man - a father and a guardian - rather than the hulking, intimidating figure who had singlehandedly taken on two demigods. Not that he isn't also that thing, but it doesn't make him quake quite so violently in his boots. "I hope she does," he says softly of the ring he shows him, running a finger over the diamond before tucking it safely away once more; hopefully it won't need to stay in a pocket much longer. A setup, though? With cheeks growing hot, Fox gently shakes his head. "I'm afraid to say I don't. Do you have any advice?" astra inclinant, sed non obligant

"Well, I've toed the waters in most places since meeting Kia, and I'd definitely say she's part of the reason why," Fox admits with a sheepish smile. "I suppose I'd just like the freedom to know I can help out if I'm needed, without hurling over the side of a ship just to get somewhere." It's not the most delightful image, but it's nonetheless true.
And whilst it might be true that Fox has already popped the question, he still hangs on every bit of advice that Deimos has to offer - even if he doesn't use it to propose, the other man has literally been through a wedding only recently, and so he's a font of wisdom as far as the hunter is concerned. "I'll have to sit down and really think about it," he murmurs, smiling to himself. "Thank you, Deimos," he adds. "For agreeing to meet me here, for your advice and for your blessing. For what it's worth, I'll be rooting for you at the end of this tournament, too." astra inclinant, sed non obligant

"And if not, it's not like it will kill me, right?" Fox says with a self-deprecating laugh; one that implies that it might not be deadly but it certainly feels like it. However, more than happy to change the subject, not just to engagement but wedding planning has a boyish and almost excitable smile curling at the corners of his lips, and he nods gentle agreement. "That's a very good point," he agrees, though he has no doubt in his mind that Kiada will be the queen of wedding planning by the time things get that far.
Glancing down at Erebos as the infant demands attention, Fox grins his apology. "Looks like I have overstayed my welcome," he jests. "I don't need anything else, no - you've done enough and then some." It's with a grateful nod that the hunter steps away, feeling well enough now to venture away from the medical tent. "Thanks again, Deimos. I'll see you soon, I hope." ~FIN astra inclinant, sed non obligant
