Noah leaned against the frost-covered wall, the bitter cold of Halo threatening to seep into his bones. His glacier eyes scanned the tundra, now half-ocean from the starfall incident. He sucked his teeth, then took a sip of his coffee.
As they stood open to the frigid air, the soldier's curiosity about the threats lurking beyond the Citadel's walls mirrored Noah's own concerns. Liam's question about the biggest threat prompted Noah to pause, the weight of unspoken dangers hanging in the frosty air. The demigod nodded slowly.
”I wouldn’t be surprised if animals tried to get in to the Citadel in search of food. It’s happened before. Ursur and dragon both.” Noah began, his gaze still scanning on the towering walls that shielded Halo. "There are creatures out there, adapted to survive in this harsh environment, but I’m not sure this—" he meant of the general danger ”—is something Frey has prepared them for.”
Noah walked the top of the wall and his keen eyes moved up and down. When he got to a spot he was particularly worried about, he would lean out and check. Everything seemed to be doing well, though. The soldiers and citizens had worked just as diligently as he had to get it repaired. Relief flooded him, and to celebrate that he walked and talked with Liam and got more coffee.
