They carved the way for a quieter afternoon, as promised. Letters and rounds completed, trainings settled for the day, patrols cast upon the next set of warriors, and no other tasks set to follow them through the evening. A rare event, and probably to be rarer still, and so Deimos set upon the moments as he often did, with purpose and precision.
One of the few extra rooms had already been converted to a nursery upon Evie’s latest news. Bits and pieces here and there when they had time, a few more plants adorning surfaces, cabinets and rocking chairs and piles of things to be sorted. The Sword hadn’t taken to creating or manifesting everything yet, but the latest notions had been the crib itself.
Settled upon the floor, long legs outstretched, he handed Evie a sketch of a rudimentary design – expecting and wanting perfection – but opinions as well. The diagram was a blueprint of the carved wood, with insets of mountains along the timber, roaming wolves and luxere dotting the landscape. Roughened charcoal had marked and labeled a few potential colors, from darker wood to lighter, and then different bars and lattices for other perspectives. “What do you think?”
