Evie
through her, in a rush of musk and saffron
While the touch of color in his skin makes her heart melt, she doesn’t comment on it. He has come so far to be able to open up verbally, so accustomed to relying on the Attuned bond in his past she suspects. Though she often uses a bit of teasing to keep the mood light, moments like these she never does, wanting him to feel safe in his vulnerability. “Always,” she murmurs, the same phrase she always uses when he thanks her for things she believes should be offered without question.
It’s certainly soon, so she is open to alternatives if he needs them. She may have most of their duties and plans on the calendar, but his personal goals and General duties were his own territory that she didn’t unnecessarily pry into. But when he concedes, she trusts that he is being honest and merely nods as she finishes up her salad. From the kitchen Micah waddles out sleepily, clearly having awoken from his impromptu nap and realized he had been abandoned. He flops back down at Evie’s feet and begins purring, a rougher sound than she is accustomed to hearing from house cats and the like. Smiling indulgently down at him, feeling her heart swell with love she hadn’t anticipated to feel so fast, Evie glances up at Deimos. “Don’t think we can put off introductions much longer. Plus it’s getting late.” And they’re both close to finished with their meal. All the was left was to rip the bandaid off and head upstairs to go to bed.
