DEIMOS
He paused in his restless motions, not considering the choice odd, but he’d never heard her express such a request. They hadn’t started out as Attuned – they’d be the mages, the strong and enduring enchanters, bringing the world together or apart based on the destruction lodged between their veins. By logic, persistence, perseverance, and assimilation, they’d broadened their horizons into deities, heralds, and what they could offer – so perhaps the comfort and ease of pack life, of animals, of something greater than themselves was repose to her now. Glancing down at her, brow arching slightly, permitting some light humor to flicker through again, he slipped another massive breath through his chest. “Do you have a preference?” All his shifts were massive – the smallest being the eagle – and could hog the entire hearth if necessary.
Placing her gently back upon the couch while he rose to snag at something for her to eat or drink, and leaving her to process the inquiry, he nodded his head at the other notions. Deimos knew better - both of them had learned from prior occasions of grief and rage, and while they didn’t have anyone or anything to scorch, maim, and destroy in this moment, there was no need to heighten the anguish, despair, and contempt.
Instead, he returned with easy things for an empty stomach: water, crackers, fruit and vegetables taken from the greenhouse earlier that day. Arranged on a plate and handed over to her, he snagged several carrots for himself, before allowing her to peruse at her leisure.
