Good tidings

She's the light in a dark room
She smiles with her eyes and it'll hold you

Deimos drops Evie off this time. No talk of another Shield to accompany her like with her visit with Maea. Evie does not argue it for long; she can tell birth is close at hand, and though she'd been adamant that she not tip off Hadama and ask him to come to the Citadel shrine - still uncertain about the moon phases and whether it would even be doable - she knows as well as he does that she can't be doing anything too strenuous right now.

She still asks him to occupy himself within eyesight but out of earshot, if only for the illusion of privacy.

Clad in thick furs as she is - unnecessary given her Academy blessing, but perfect for concealing her own surprising news - Evie is a bit slower in her pace as she approaches the shrine and Hadama within the icy water beside it. Hood drawn up against the cold wind, her cheeks are flushed so pink her freckles disappear, but they swell with the force of her smile all the same. "Not too cold for you yet even as a student?" It's a titter of a joke as she stands by the shrine. Normally she would sit to accompany him, but it would give up the game too soon.

She's a bullet that's about to fire
And she's the steady that will keep you sane

Evie
