The Sword had spent far too long in training, war, and crusades, no matter the lifetime, to be without plans. Before the last interval of bloodshed and ruin, it had been to ensure Halo was prepared for whatever strife the mountains and Citadel would face, that its people were safe, secure, and capable. And now, amid some parallels of peace, his machinations comprised of vigilance, preservation, shelter, and security; for his citizens and loved ones. Impulsivity and boldness were reserved for mischief and antics, amongst those who knew him best; where all the guards could slowly meander downwards, unfurl in rapid succession.
But he’d always known Kiada to be of compulsions and spontaneity, flickering or flowing where the earth tossed her – to either face it head-on or meander in its sanction, before following an alternative path. He studied her now, silently, in his own piercing way, watching as she spun around, as a carefree ambience settled upon horns and differences; the same soul lacerated and melded back together so many times. [say]“Of course,”[/say] and he offered her his arm as they meandered and stepped over rubble. On a notion, and far too much curiosity, the rumble in his tones persisted. [say]“Have you been back to the Grounds? I heard it changed.”[/say] Significantly, given the map Darkeye had handed over.
And from there, they could have their rapt discussions, until they needed to disperse, return, back to their collective spaces.
