RE: new-rising smoke - Deimos - 05-10-2021
He didn’t abandon those he cherished; not until well after they found him worth losing. Like ghosts and fragments of broken, carved away hearts, and his head drifted downwards again, an unrelenting pattern as his eyes caught upon the stones, waiting for the inevitable yes. Leave, depart, get lost; unworthy and alone in some manner all over again. Another drifting of the pattern in his lives, no matter how many he seemed to embark within.
His breath caught and snagged in surprise, Belial springing upwards from where he’d been laying underneath the bench, cranium lifting to stare at her. A chance, however small and trivial, to remain without the snapped tethers (but for how long?) [say]“Okay,”[/say] he acknowledged; rising, tall and monolithic once more even when he felt nothing like it. [say]“I can take you home.”[/say] A nod, to drift her closer to those devoted and loved, wondering how much longer it would remain, and sick again with the thought.
