Evie
through her, in a rush of musk and saffron
Frankly, anything Evie could tip over the balustrades onto unsuspecting monsters is good in her book. Whatever material happens to be in those buckets couldn’t matter less; even manure or marbles would be entertaining and spiteful enough for the Evergreen. “I’d take anything, but I feel like the water would freeze instantly or dissipate the second it leaves the barrier like when you toss kettle water outside.” Halovians have always had chill aplenty to experiment with interesting thermodynamics, and Evie would hate to waste water unless it conveniently froze into daggers that would fall upon their assailants.
Realizing she is now the one getting distracted with such macabre ideas, she refocuses instead on Deimos’ hands and how they busy themselves. And - hey - wasn’t that bowl of strawberries more full earlier? Narrowing her eyes with suspicion (as yet unfounded though it may be considering how deft his sneaking fingers are) Evie leans back against the counter while the fish cooks and watches Deimos’ magic entertain Micah. “I wonder if Dygra will be more open to outfitting them with items to help them travel. Maybe Kiada can get something that allows her to temporarily bear the cold for Halo?” The two would always be able to meet outside of Halo, and Evie knows (though only in vague terms that Deimos had provided) that Kiada had left Halo without seeming to want to return, but she can’t help but hope that visitation between the two Helovians could be made easier.
